Need A Storage Server With Small SSD Primary Drive
I'm building out an Acronis storage cluster to keep backups of a couple of other servers. I have a primary node which is a Servarica Salamander Hybrid (4 CPU, 6GB RAM, 200GB SSD + 4TB SAN RAIDZ2) and that works perfectly for the task, but I'm looking to add another for both geo and provider redundancy.
I see lots of 4TB storage servers, but none that have a small SSD for the OS and Metadata to live on. The storage would need to have some form of RAID like the Salamander does, I don't want a single disk solution. Has anyone seen an offer with similar specs please?

Ryzen 3900x NVMe + Block Storage

We can offer this in the UK with NVMe+HDD space.
What's your ideal specs?
BuyVM does 4TB block storage for $5/TB that can be attached to any of their Ryzen VPS's.
Thank-you for the suggestion. Looked perfect on the surface, but the usage would fall foul of their Ts and Cs:
"You can't burst to 95-100% CPU usage for more than five (5) minutes"
CPU usage tends to run close to 100% for 30 minutes or so during large backups as the metadata is calculated. Capping that would slow the backups down quite dramatically.
They do, and I looked at them as it would be ideal. The block storage seems to never be in stock though (not surprised at that price!).
4 CPU, 6-8GB RAM, 200GB SSD + 4TB Storage.

Can you also give some info on Acronis Backups.
I have been looking into it for a while but haven't seen too many providers out there. And few only offer it with storage which tends to be expensive.
Can anyone get few VM/Server license and use his own storage for the server?
Or there are minimum commitments involved ?
i'm also looking APAC/US location storage VPS
How much bandwidth?
Check out CloudEvo.com - they sell per-server licenses at a very reasonable cost.
10TB would be plenty for now.
Check TeraKVM: https://www.prometeus.net/site/terakvm.php It is not exactly a storage box, but it does not look like you need a pure storage box.
servarica salamander
Can't compete with Servaricas salamander price but best we could do would be:
