Cheap yearly storage in EU
Looking to mirror the files from my storage with Time4VPS to another server just in case :P
I am looking for something as pricy as Time4VPS and in EU with the following specs:
300-500gb HDD
BW @100 mbits (or more) Unmetered or 1-2TB bw per month
Location: Europe
Price: ~20 € per year
It is not urgent so I will not commit to a special offer right away just interested what is out there on the market

Take a Kimsufi and use it as backup storage.
kimsufi!!!!
@bacloud
Thought about that, too. But even their cheapest Servers (5€/mo) are way more expensive than a 20€/year deal (which on top I am highly satisfied with).
I guess no one are able to compete with them in TB per Dollar ratio at this moment in Europe. ZXHost used to offer 1TB more powerfull unmetered VPS in similar price range though. I realize it's way far from what you are looking for now, but LiteServer 200GB/2TB €23 (with VPS15OFF code) VPS in NL is probably the closest option.
LiteServer offers dont look too bad
Thanks! Will consider em!
@bersy,
Thanks for mentioning us! :-)
For hot-storage i prefer going with Hetzner "ServerBoerse.de" 4x4 TB Raid 5 for ~ 50 €. Thats about 11 TB more or less "save" storage. to get that would need ~ 8-9 Kimsufi 2 T which are available for about 8-10 € per month with raid6 over network. So i prefer my Gbit speed with one server
good for you
We're a bit cocky arent we ? :-)
Sure Hetzner has some great deals but I simply have no need for this much resources nor am I looking to spend this much money xD
If you say so.
This is the logical answer: a single disk's worth of redundancy for backing up a RAID6 backed file collection.
(I am always able to max out GRA<->time4vps at 100Mbps)
Those lowend Kimsufi/Hetzner can be nice when you just need a ton of storage.
But when I/O performance is also important, you're better of with a VPS. Most hosting companies have their VPS storage platforms running on a SSD Cached array, which makes a huge performance difference compared to just a bunch of SATA (5400rpm?) drives.
This + reconsidering 100gb storage would be enough for me probably^^
You may ask @AshleyUk (ZXHost) for a custom storage plan. I do have two servers with them and both are running very reliable. And support is great; if you should need it.
