Transfer KS-STOR (retired range) 4x 4TB + 500GB NVMe

Member, Host Rep
Today I was notified that the backup server in France is no longer online. After investigating, I realized that 16TB is no longer enough to store the backups, so I’m forced to upgrade.
Since the KS-STOR line with 4x4TB + 500GB NVMe is no longer available, I think it would be a shame to let this server expire without being used by someone 🙂

Pretty useful config. Someone has to grab this lol.
Would have been me if it was payday...
@barbarza
I believe you're so tempted to get this one as well!
Thanks but looking for something a little cheaper with NVMe
Ill be really interested in this. Is there a way to sign up an OVH EU account without buying a product from them?
The KS-STOR line is still available.
You're right, I relied on my API without realizing that I was only scraping the "FRA" region.
Apparently there is no (anymore?) 4TB range at 24EUR in this region, only the one at 40 EUR.
Good discovery anyway.
Thanks!
Later edit: Nevermind, it seems my scrapper didn't match the free addon correctly and used the 6TB disk even though it shouldn't have.
I think @allthemtings would use this?
To many sisters
I have the same KS-Stor in Europe (France – Roubaix), and honestly it works great.
The Ultrastar HDD drives, even though they already have quite a few hours on them, are still performing flawlessly.
Isnt this available online.
@anandfire_hot_man
It is still available directly w/ OVH - albeit with low stock and some/most locations oos.
But @fredo1664 also said this before here.
Close request.
Successfully transferred to @Akira3
I got screwed by vibecoding, it created a buggy script that ordered a server with identical setup with one year paid in advance instead of upgrading the disks as intended.
So, available for transfer:
