I found that 140 deal on Amazon and have bought it.

Glad to hear it.

Did you order with next-day delivery? (Just wondering how many gbit/s would that work out to ... lol)

I have prime :P. Will get all my stuff by Wednesday. already got the cables and drives.

If you are ok with a temporary custom solution, please feel free to open a support ticket at wishosting.com

Basically, I can increase the storage space of KVM Storage CA package to 6TB+ since there is some free space on the nodes.

@exception0x876 can we expect any coupon codes coming up due to the extra free space?

Background

I am planning on converting from an HDD RAID5 array to an SDD RAID 10 array. I currently have ~5.4 TB on 3xTB drives with LVM.

I am also upgrading the mobo to handle a direct transfer of data (2 raids on the machine) due to more SATA ports.

Request

Based on this, I need a deal on a short term VPS server in which I can store my raid disk image.

I am rounding the requirement up to 6 TB to be simple. I would prefer SSD, but the cost is the priority. I have looked at DO/AWS and similar but it seems very high for temporary use.

Oh, and bandwidth would be 6-12 TB most likely. I guess an unmetered server would work, just need the transfer to not have me sitting on my ass for 2 days :P. I have fiber internet anyways.

Other

While I, of course, know I don't need to use a VPS server if I can transfer direct, I am making a backup of things before I start.

Timeline

I do not have an immediate need, as I am at the planning stage, but getting my ducks in a row, so-to-speak.

Thanks

you'd better to lease dedicated server to storage.No guys provide huge disk on VPS.

@geek2009 did you even read this thread? Your recent posts seem a bit spammy. I flagged one in another thread.

Perhaps you might take a break and reconsider how you participate here?

I believe you could do much better if you are so inclined. You could be strong on plow, and post superior potassium!

May I please be assured that you will kindly do the needful to improve the quality of your posting output? Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter!

Must be able to withstand daily 3.6 roentgen exposure from superior potassium, strength on plow potatoes in field must be strong.

I got the USB drive already but that would be ~50 for 2 days. Bit expensive I think.

@Falzo @uptime

The move has gone well with a few bumps I won't make a long story about (nothing ever goes perfect).

I have setup LUKS on the raid and get about 1.2 GB/s write and ~800 MB/s read. It is raid 10 with 6x https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nF8j4D/crucial-mx500-2tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct2000mx500ssd1.

Total cost was around $2100. IMHO well worth the investment as my computer has yet to lock up (and me twiddling my thumbs for 10 min), and I have instant file listings in large folders that used to take up to 30 seconds to seek.

Hope this helps anyone else. My next investment is probably maxing out to a thread ripper 32 core and 128 GB RAM. But that's not anytime soon.
