At the moment, I don't know ... maybe? Depends on what you mean by "better" ... Bottom line for storage is - if it's not reliable for long term, then it's not better - even if it's cheaper.
So if you're happy with your current provider in terms of reliability (and network to your preferred locations) then I'd say service priced at less than €3.5 per TB per month seems like a pretty good deal. I'd be inclined to keep it.
That said - I'd expect that in about 6 months (Black Friday / Cyber Monday) there are almost sure to be deals on storage from reliable providers such as HostHatch, AlphaVPS.bg, UltraVPS.eu, InceptionHosting, CrownCloud and others. I would not be surprised to see some of these deals (ie, from HostHatch) with promotional pricing closer to $3 per TB per month if paid annually. (On the other hand, wouldn't be too shocked if prices are a bit higher.)
HostHatch may at some point before Black Friday offer more storage deals in Chicago - I wouldn't hold my breath, but might keep an eye out for that if US location would work for you. (They have previously offered promotional pricing at $4 per TB if paid quarterly, and even lower pricing for 3 TB with annual payment, monthly payment possible for 5 TB and up)
Right now, you can get block storage from BuyVM in Las Vegas for $5 per TB per month - plus whatever VPS you get to go with it (starts at $2 per month)
Same pricing for block storage from LetBox in Los Angeles - I'm not sure about pricing for the VPS to go with that. I have read @key900 mention possibility of bringing up storage in Virginia at very attractive pricing but that may be some time out - you can check the LetBox discord channel for news about that.
There is also (still available I think) HostSolutions special offer for LET for storage in Romania with good pricing - but on OVZ6, with a level of service that's perhaps best described as an acquired taste. It seems to work quite well for some people, others might be vexed by limited ability to upgrade software and so on - so you'll have to make up your own mind as to whether - all things considered - it is actually suitable for your particular needs. Pricing for that deal is well under €3 per TB oer month paid annually.
@uptime this was the most helpful answer I have ever received on a forum. Thank you so much for the time you put into it.

I think your current deal is good. I got a 50 off Time4VPS storage OpenVZ for similar price.
@JerryHou thanks for the link haven't seen this!

1 vCPU / 1.6GB RAM / 1TB RAID60 / 10TB @ 4Gbps for $144/3y. That will be $4 if paid monthly.
Works great for me.
NO vps like big storage.you'd better to pick up dedicated server.
This. Go check out hetzner's server bidding and pick a box, its contents will help you on your way.
Ooh. I completely forgot SpeedyKVM is now worth re-visiting , with the new non PMS management.
Letbox isn't $5/mo /1TB. Regular price is $15/mo. The best promo was $60/year for 1 TB, but that promo is over.
