Looking for large storage servers

Hi there,
We're looking for a solid 10TB storage VPS, which we'll connect to our main server through FTP/SMB/NFS. Mainly used to store our customer's backups, so redundancy is a must, and also this will be used as a live storage i.e, we'll be transferring data in and out pretty much constantly (so high or unmetered traffic would be preferred).
Also scalability, we may have to add extra storage space as we fill up, so it musn't be a problem.
Not planning to use any S3 providers as the prices are exorbitant.
Preferably Frankfurt or EU locations.

i would ask @NetDynamics24
I think there is plenty here that have had good experiences with @servarica_hani
Although the best I could find from a quick look is an 8TB plan for $20 a month
Could always try reaching out for a custom plan
NL-STORAGE-10C-20GIB-10TIB-160TIB
DATA CENTER: SKYLINK DATA CENTER, EYGELSHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS
VIRTUALIZATION: KVM
NESTED VIRTUALIZATION: ENABLED
CPU: Intel® Xeon® Gold 6152
BASE CLOCK: 2.1 GHZ
BOOST CLOCK: UP TO 3.7 GHZ
CORES: 10
RAM: 20 GiB DDR4 2666 MHZ ECC
STORAGE: 10 TiB HDD (ZFS RAID 10)
UPLINK: 2.5 GBIT
INCOMING TRAFFIC: UNMETERED
OUTGOING TRAFFIC: 160 TiB PER MONTH
IPv4 ADDRESS: 1
IPV6 SUBNET: /64 (ROUTED)

for 40 € per month (+ VAT if you are from the EU)
You can always add extra Storage for 4 € per TiB per month
We add NVMe SSD Storage for OS Boot Drives in the upcoming weeks to all our Storage VPS Nodes. It will be added for free to any existing Storage VPS as soon as it is ready.
For 24 hour trial and/or order please send me a PM
Preferably Frankfurt or EU locations.
Thanks for the offer. What's the expected R/W speeds for this disk? Could you pls provide a link to your website? I might take up on that trail period for some testing.
Reads and writes are limited to 200 MB/s. We have 256 GB RAM dedicated to ZFS for caching per Node. Best is if you test the performance yourself. You can check our other Plans at https://my.heartbeat-it.com
Whats your preferred budget? Working off of the cheapest I can find maybe @host_c 12TB VPS for 34.50usd
Can't speak for the redundancy or anything performance like that unfortunately.
edit: fixed link
We don't have a fixed budget, just trying to find a good deal, preferably lower price with quality. Yeah I already looked up Host-C, also talking with him in private about my queries.
Scalability = Object Storage > VPS
Redundancy = Object Storage > VPS
Just go with Storj.io or Hetzner, their prices are pretty reasonable, Backblaze is also ok if you plan on downloading stuff regularly
A VPS can die or get removed by accident at any time, no provider will make any backups of your VPS. E.g. when they delete your VPS because you paid one day too late or there was a bug in the system that didn't register your payment.
Otherwise there are Hetzner storage boxes, 10TB 20€ I think.
@itsTomHarper
I think that the Backup Storage service could suit your purposes:
BS-10
Storage: 10 TB
FTP ✓
SFTP ✓
SCP ✓
RSYNC ✓
WebDAV✓
$20 / month
But we can also offer Storage VPS:
VS-STORAGE-8
CPU: 4 core
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 8TB
IP: 1
Port: 1 Gbps
Traffic: 20 TB
Root Access: ✓
24×7 Support: ✓
Free Setup: ✓
DDoS Protection: ✓
$42 / month
or
VS-STORAGE-12
CPU: 8core
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 12TB
IP: 1
Port: 1 Gbps
Traffic: 30 TB
Root Access: ✓
24×7 Support: ✓
Free Setup: ✓
DDoS Protection: ✓
$56 / month
For both services, you can add extra storage space.
Check Backup Storage service and Storage VPS plans here: https://vsys.host/halloween-sale
Or contact us using DM at LET, live chat at https://vsys.host/ or email [email protected]
Maybe also check PulsedMedia if you can make a SeedBox work for your uses. (I wont ping them out of fear of this becoming a PulsedMedia sales thread) https://pulsedmedia.com/
How's the redundancy on those? Also scalability?
Hey, thanks @beanman109 for those suggestions. Yes I already know about PulsedMedia, not looking for a Seedbox now.
I don't see the offered plan in your website, could you pls give me a direct link?
Yeah, such custom Plans are not listed on our Website. Please order them via support ticket or via private message here. Same for the trial
@host_c
@heartbeat_IT
@layer7
@hosthatch
-- listed in random order
Raid10 is used
And as for scalability, for Backup Storage service it is an upgrade to a higher tariff, and for VPS Storage you can add/buy an additional space
Have not found anything better than these.
https://hostingby.design/dedi-lsw-nl/
We have some storage servers in NY from 12x HDD's to 36x
https://purevoltage.com these are not listed on our site but just hit up our sales team.
We can do custom storage dedicated servers that comprise up to 12x 8TB or 12TB disks. Please PM me for a quote if you're interested.
It's always good idea to have backup for backup
just buy or find a pc put a 10tb or more in and do smb locally is another option is no so good but is one option too
