High Capacity Storage Dedicated Server

I am looking for a large storage server that can handle sustained large file reads.
- Location: United States preferably Chicago or St. Lewis but will consider anywhere depending on download/upload speed from my location. (I hope you have a large test file (10-100gb) to test sustained throughput.
- Self-Managed
- Capacity: 120-200TB RAW that is scalable to larger if possible.
- Uplink: 1gbps unmetered/unlimited minimum, will consider and prefer uplinks as high as 10gbps depending on limits and costs.
- Operating System: Ubuntu or Windows
- RAM:32gb Minimum
- CPU: Any modern 4-8 core CPU does not have to be server grade.
If lease price is high, I will consider buying the chassis/drives and paying colo only. Quote 1U/2U/4U power + bandwidth in the same DC if you offer that.
Please include in the reply
Monthly price in USD, setup fee, term
Exact disk layout (e.g. 8×20 TB + 1×480 GB SSD)
Port speed and real bandwidth policy
Drive replacement: who pays, how long
Lead time
AUP notes that would block media streaming or large sequential transfers
Not looking for:
Object storage only, “100 TB bandwidth” with 8 TB of disk, SMR archives, or EU-only unless US pricing is worse after latency.
Public replies preferred so others can compare. PMs OK for custom configs.
Realistic quotes only. I already use Hetzner Storage Boxes for cheap offsite; this is for US local disk and a real uplink.

Thanks @oloke for the recommendation!
No worries
There is also @NetDynamics24 https://www.netdynamics24.com/client/order.php?step=1&productGroup=18 (also in Utah, USA) but they seem entirely out of stock recently.
