cheapest per TB storage (server)

Hi Folks,
been looking around for storage servers, and it looks like the cheapest p/TB without getting silly is still the kimsufi KS-2 @ €9.99
The online.net server that offers 44TB in raid 5 works out closer to €6 p/TB but its a bit overkill for what I need.
Assuming I need 10TB does anyone know any good options (not cloud storage as S3/Hubic).
Failing that I will probably just buy 10 x KS2's + hubic.

12TB for $99 which is $8.25 per TB.
Not 10TB but 8TB?

Hetzner @ 5.9€/TB: http://www.hetzner.de/de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/sx60
Just be wary of the locations if it matters, I bought 4 a few months back for storage, all 4 were adjacent to each other so of course any issues it affected them all.
However when I contacted support and eventually got them to answer they did re-arrange it so they were not only in different positions but in all DC's
Thanks Guys, some options there
Don't know why I am surprised really I just figured in 2015 cheaper storage would have been available without all the restrictions.
Hetzner also has a 7x1.5TB server in their serverboerse for 60€/m, no setup fees:
Head here and enter 7 for the amount of HDDs: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market/page/3#374178
Notice how you go to Hetzner now and you need to select your country now for VAT purposes:P
not to hijack the threadbut are there any cheap places that offer servers with 1-4TB under $30 vps or dedi.You said you weren't going to do it, and you done it - what gives?
Creating a new thread would be worse, duplicate threads with same requests.
1TB:
kimsufi.com 9.99€/m + VAT: http://www.kimsufi.com/
online.net 15.99€/m + VAT: http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc
2TB:
kimsufi.com 14.99€/m + VAT: http://www.kimsufi.com/
servdiscount.com 20€/m: http://servdiscount.com/
4TB:
soyoustart.com 35.70€/m: http://www.soyoustart.com/
6TB:
hetzner serverboerse 34€/m: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market/country/DE#382845
Also:
vpsdime.com
1TB: 14$/m
2TB: 28$/m
I've been using vpsdime, but I've seen the network and disk i/o throttled a ton which is the reason I want to move elsewhere.
I did not spot the 2TB Kimsufi for €14.99, nice one, will grab 5 ot 6 of them if nothing better turns up.
Hetzner is not an option, we had a slight falling out after they charged my credit card for months after cancelling, then refused to refund it because "they have no way of doing that" lol, my bank could not charge back and it took a letter from my bank to their processor to get them to stop.
I learned a few insults in German during that time.

6 * 4TB for €111 + VAT.
More then 10TB but you could always mirror it
Save yourself the trouble of dealing with OVH support, you can get a starter VPS with 10TB Raid Protected storage from us for €133inc with our 10% discount.
If you don't mind the middleman, OneProvider has L3426 2x2TB for €30.
http://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/paris-france
FirstHeberg has 12TB for €69.99. Their offer page says €59.00 setup fee but this is not showing in the cart (?), so not so sure.
https://www.firstheberg.com/serveur-stockage
FS-30T: http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/storage/
5x6TB for $179, so ~$6/TB, which I believe the cheapest now.
The 30 EUR SYS with 2x2TB: http://www.soyoustart.com/fr/serveurs-essential/
A good deal is the 20 EUR one with 2x1TB from http://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/paris-france (if it comes back in stock)
And btw the absolutely best deal for storage is Online.net 4814, 2x2TB for 19.99 EUR, if you managed to grab some when they were available.
Also as you may know some KS2 get delivered with 2TB disks instead of 1TB, but it's a matter of luck.
registered 2nd Jan.... sounds legit!
Just to mention i do not recommend Hubic Speed is not a problem I got over 100 megabits from ovh but hubicfuse constantly failing to move big files (no problem for up to 5-10 gigabytes files ) but never successfully move 70GB image file which messing with my auto backup strategy
hetzner go 2x3TB for 34 -35 euros in auction (no incoming traffic limit) but they got no ddos protection

Not that I'm a big fan of VolumeDrive, but what about getting their 20$/month dedicated server and upgrading it with 4x2TB or 4x4TB HDDs for a one-time fee? It's definitely the cheapest option out there hehe. Since they moved out (or got kicked out, whatever) of BurstNet, reviews have been pretty positive.
Have you read WHT about their high end brand? The only way to get a server it seems is to complain.
OVH support is alright provided you either have PRO option by default (2014 model servers) with your server or subscribe for it (2013 or older model servers)
But I am yet to see a more horrible provider than you who does not even know the difference between KVM & vmware hypervisors. You do not seem to know the difference betweek ESX & ESXI as well lol
PulseHeberg has some cheap storage vpses AFAIK
My apologies for that obvious mistake, a miss-communication with our web developer was the issue, This has been corrected.
Do you have 70GB free in /tmp?
@rm_ yes it is folder not a partition (84 gigs at the moment) got more before i cancel my hubic account (70 GB is my bigger vm i want to move and my local storage is ssd raid)
P.S i use other FuseFSes (sshfs and ftpfs) to move backups and got no problem with them
