Backup Server Dedicated Server needed in USA, with buydown for disks.
Hello folks,
We're very much willing to pay annually for a server with 4x4TB HDD's at least.
Although, we'd like to buydown the disks to lower the fee, or something like that.
Any providers here got nice deals?
As for the 4TB disks, desktop grade would be ok, these cost 120USD each, so 500USD buydown is ok for example.

Please move to Requests, wrong section, I apologise.
Would Los Angeles, CA work ?
E3-1240v2 / 16 GB RAM / 20 TB bandwidth/month / 4 x 4 TB
$59.99/month + $500/one-off for the HDDs.
I guess so, please PM me to discuss and get me a test link to check latency and speeds.
Note:
Preferred location: Chicago, USA.
Hi,
We can do you a suitable price in various US cities. New York? Atlanta? Los Angeles?
Get in touch and we'll make you a good deal.
Cheers,
MM
You could get in touch with FDCservers or Steadfast and see if they offer a buydown option; or any host in Continuum DC
Will check, thank you very much!
Edit: FDCServers is overpriced from what I see in their homepage. Checking Steadfast.
Edit: Steadfast is a no too.
Continuum? Come on boss.
FDC can likely do it. I'm not sure if they're still in their old facility or if they moved everything to Cogent like they did Denver, but i'm sure they'll be able to do something for you.

Just also remembered NetDepot does Buydown's on their servers
https://www.netdepot.com/dedicated-server-features/
They have CHI space.
PM'd
They seem to be really expensive though.
300USD setup fee, so a total of 1200 USD for the disks only, way overpriced.
Checking!
It was worth a shot.
@MrGeneral contact Gabe at IOflood I am sure he will work something out of you.
@MrGeneral - FDC may still let customers to ship in drives on the basis of "you lose ownership of the drives once we install them". If that's the case you could just amazon some drives and be set.

Agreed, you do get a shit ton of bandwidth if it's going to be used for a backup server.
-If CHI is out of bust, and LV is OK.
Get in-touch with Rob @Rob_T Great Guy
I'll do, thank you!
Wasn't aware, and it's worth a shot. I'll contact them.
Will do, thank you!
@MrGeneral If Atlanta is OK, we can probably work something out for you.
Why not just do 1U colo? Doing some weird buyout structure is a lot more complicated than buying a 1U and shipping it out to a DC in Chicago...
Should be, PM me your price.
It's not that weird, we just want to amortize the payment itself and reduce the annual expense... It's something not that uncommon TBH.
I'm from Portugal, wouldn't ship to Chicago for logistics reasons.
Reach out to dacentec.com maybe?
Rent to own may work well for you as well.
RTO, nah.
I got a few offers in PM, this thread can be closed. Thank you all folks, really helped.
We're in Chi and have storage nodes up to 40TB. Start at 3tb, and add storage as needed!

Thank you but I've never heard about your company so I'd rather trust the data to other companies here.
Fair enough!
PM if you ever want to test us out!
Will check your website for sure.
