2 x 2TB? Budget in mind?
Can probably do something :-). Let us know what’s the budget and I’ll do my best to make it happen for you :-)
@cociu
will be porn or not ?
budget darling ?
Ask @Nekki
Knowing Nekki it's just gonna be some octopus tentacles^^
Ideally looking to land somewhere in the region of £30 for the listed min spec, £45inc would be top-whack right now.
I would prefer a single disk, but ultimately any combo of discs will do so long as I end up with 4TB somehow.
Since nobody mentioned Hetzner so far, they currently have an i7 with 16GB RAM and 2x 4 TB HDD at 30 EUR.

Finally someone mentioned Hetzner.
Where?
I guess I'll just leave a link.
https://www.hetzner.com/sb?country=gb
No Hetzner, cheers.
Edit: That’s because I’ve never been able to get an account verified with them, so fuck those guys.
Maybe Kimsufi?
KS-11
Intel Xeon W3520 4c/8t 2.66GHz
16GB DDR3 ECC 1333 MHz
SoftRaid 2x2TB
100 Mbps
/128
€19.99 ex. VAT
(or €23.99 incl. VAT)
40EUR for Dual L5630 in Bulgaria with 16GB of RAM, vat excl. Which should be in your 45GBP budget.
That’s the fallback option.
Edit: I would also prefer a single disc. Less work.
Why not tag Katie for that? @Hetzner_OL
Because I can’t be arsed with them now.
Cheers, just scrapes in at about £44 inc VAT.
Considering all options, will let you know.
If you don't mind doubling the statistical risk to loose your data, a software raid-0 should be up and running in a few seconds.
Depends on your use case, but in my opinion the two disk option has the advantage to build a raid-1 for os-relevant partitions so your system itself survives a disk failure while having a raid-0 over the remaining space for your bulk data.
Will give you either 2x2TB of 1x 4TB - whichever you'd prefer
Try OVH..if you are going on economy budget try
**kimsufi**..guaranteed service..:)In that case I recommend Hetzner.
soyoustart UK location?
upper end of your budget, but also spec-wise ;-)
JBOD FTW
I can see that award is well deserved.
That’s not a bad shout actually, I must have missed that whilst browsing.
Cunt of a setup fee on that SYS.
If you want NL, check out https://www.worldstream.nl/en/dedicated/special/info
Intel C2Q Q9550
4GB RAM
4TB HDD SATA III 7200rpm
10TB traffic
21eur/mo if 6 month contract, otherwise 29 per month without contract
Setup fee?
Ok. Thanks.
Bye.
That’s exactly the sort of crusty old CPU I’m looking for.
Aren’t WorldStream renowned for being a bit shit, or am I thinking of someone else?
I currently run a server with Worldstream with backuppc, the Pentium G1620 with 1TB hdd config for 12/mo, no problems so far. The past 3 months i had one downtime incident because of a big attack hitting their network (i thought they said it was 100gbit+), but this was resolved within 2 minutes. After that there was no downtime (except my own kernel updates etc).
I dont know if you have to do any ID verification since you're not ordering from NL, atleast i had to do a ID verification which was handled very quickly.
If something less crusty old is acceptable as well, we can offer the following:
Celeron J4105 Quad Core (Score 5692 @ Geekbench 4)
8 GB DDR4
4 TB HDD (no RAID)
4 TB Traffic at 1000 mbps
35.00€ per month, no set-up fee
Location will be Accelerated in Frankfurt. Automated reinstalls and resets using the interface are included at no cost.
Can vouch for WorldStream! I had few servers with them in the past. You can live chat with them for free trials, they are friendly.
