You might want to check out OVH's backup server line, 8gb ram and 8tb of space for €50.99/month ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/
if you are a non-EU resident and still looking for a NON-US dedi with those, and also you agree to not host any illegal stuff, you may PM me
Will they disable raid on request? Would rather 2x 4tb alone than in raid0/1 for a backup server.
Never actually tried them, but I can't see why not.
You can reinstall your OS anytime through their control panel, they let you choose between raid or first disk.
I set my FS-8T up with:
10G raid1 root
2G raid0 swap
and the rest raid /home
but their control panel supports doing jbod or whatever other config
I have never used a default setup configuration on any of the ~7 OVH boxes I've had, their automated install system is highly configurable
here @jarland, a picture is worth a thousand words:
Ah cool. I'm used to online.net where you have to request raid removal.
I know about OVH, I was looking for something different.
So what's your budget for this and what are your other requirements? What will you use the server for?
@rds100 sorry, thought I mentioned that, €50, torrents.
Then you are probably not going to find anything better (in terms of GB/€) than OVH's storage servers, unless Online.net or Ikoula has something new. They are also notoriously lenient with filesharing.
Although, I see now that you can get a server with 4 x 2 TB from LeaseWeb for 55 EUR.

Or 2 x 3 TB for 49 EUR.

If it's for torrents I'd just stick with leaseweb or OVH, partially because their networks are great but also because you'll have a ton of peers in your own rack :P
@MrX leaseweb has just 100Mbit while OVH has 1Gbit, though, good offer nonetheless, but I guess OVH's 8TB is winning
