Looking for US-based storage server - reliable 5TB - 10TB+ for RSYNC and SFTP
Hi guys -- need another storage server, interested in trying another provider, preferably in US.
Initially about 5TB, will need to expand to 10TB+ -- for RSYNC and SFTP, needs to be very reliable, no headaches.
Typical pricing: 5TB goes for about $12 per month on Hetzner Storage Boxes, and I've seen various other providers offer similar 4TB-5TB services for about $10-12 per month. 10TB-ish typically goes for about $22-25 from those same providers. For example, Interserver has 10TB for $25, Hetzner for about $23.
Hetzner is actually pretty good, I might just get another one there, but I find them to be a little slow in terms of bandwidth to their German DC, so I'm looking for other options, preferably in US.
Any favorites you know of?

Thanks, looks like they are $20 for 5TB. $30 for 10TB. The 5TB deal isn't so great compared to other providers, but 10TB is roughly within the ballpark. I like that they have a US location. Thanks again.
Depending on your term, 1yr & 3yrs cost less monthly.
You can check HostHatch too https://hosthatch.com/products
I highly recommend
They have a wide choice of locations
Maybe @crunchbits can help you with this.

Thanks, guys, I'll check them all out.
Re: @crunchbits - I am familiar with them, they are good guys, I consider them one of the best providers on LET TBH. However, they rarely have what I need in stock, unfortunately, and in this case, I am hoping to get something that is turnkey, so I don't have to maintain it. It's not a dealbreaker, but their big storage VPS, if I recall, is a normal VPS with a nice chunk of storage attached, which is all fine of course, I can configure it, etc., but I would prefer not to configure and maintain yet another VPS if possible for this deployment. I'd like to exhaust other options first. Hetzner's storage boxes, for example, are ready to go with all the config done and maintained by them, and it has the bonus of a decent control panel for rudimentary management of subaccounts and snapshots, all the protocols I need... it's an ideally designed product for this use case. Hetzner's main problem, for me, though, is that they are a bit on the slow side and I'd prefer a US DC if possible. Crunchbits is of course faster and has a US DC, so it's still an option.
Anyway, thanks again, will check out your suggestions!
We could help you in Italy, it is certainly not the closest option to you but it could be a good compromise.

From what I seen you popup in Discord, ask if XXX is available and most of the times someone (Dick!) will do some magic here and there and they will find a place
