When all the non-renewals happen later this year (making lots of capacity suddenly available), I'm sure they'll put on promos for Boxing day, but not likely for Black Friday.
yeah, why not 50Tb?
I will wait for a Boxing day for that :-) or buy a 16 tb enterprise class drive and connect it to my 2nd home desktop which has 1 gig internet connection.
The problem with hosting at home is that a lot of residential internet connections have far more contention and are generally not as good as business-grade or datacenter-grade connections. Ideally you'd want at least a business internet plan when hosting from home, but those don't come cheap. Regular residential internet might be OK for some use cases though, if they're not too critical and speed isn't that important.
I am not hosting at home nor will I.
I am just speculating to use a home disk as a pure storage back-up use. But I will probably not going to go that route.
Depends what you can get a 16TB drive for in your area. It's about $400 CAD on sale in my area and so a wicked deal to host that ain't a bad choice, if it has RAID. Doing RAID at home will double costs. The hetzner deal sounds like a money saver until prices go up from electricity costs.
I agree. I am frankly much hesitant to spend hundreds of dollars for a disk that could fail and that's on an unreliable internet connection. It was just a thought.
I might have to go with the 10 tb Hetzner storage box...if no alternative here.
More than double if you want to guarantee that you can recover if two disks fail at the same time. Ideally you'd ensure your disks are each from separate batches to try and avoid that happening.
You can get 9TB dedi for 45 or so with Dacentec. That's about the closest I can think of. Haven't seen a dedi with 16TB for 25.
For 8 TB, $26.99 from OVH.> @KermEd said:

Can get the 4x10TB Hetzner auctions for around $40-45/month, making them probably the best deal you can get. Technically that means if they're willing to double their budget, they can get $1/tb.
Link?
I believe it works with RaiDrive
If you don't need it to be a VPS / Dedi, and a shared with shell access would do you should peruse our seedboxes.
rclone, sftp, fuse etc. is there, and with shell access you can setup small other stuff too
Just keep in mind that the price may go up if electricity prices keep going up.

I am kind of looking for a storage 1tb per $1.00 /dedi/vps/seedbox..doesn't matter.
I found a dedi in Hetzner with 40TB for about $50-$55. But I do not need 40 TB....
Sir, if you find said deal, please, do let me know. I have been seeking such a server for many a year.
LOL! Will do.
40TB raw or 40TB after RAID?
After RAID -> 4X10TB. Enterprise HDD.
Sigh... I just bought 64TB for $65/m.---I thought my budget was $25:
What am I gonna do with this...Siberia?
Four memberships to the 16TB club?
Hey, can u tell me how to use oneindex? Thanks. I couldn't find it online and the only thing I found was in some chinese or soemthing
Try this https://github.com/spencerwooo/onedrive-vercel-index
Where did you get this?
It's the SX63 from Hetzner, currently available in auction:

So you won't use up E3 1275 v6 CPU and 64G RAM.
Maybe you should use the cheapest CPU (maybe i7 2600) and minimal RAM (16GB, I think) and order external HDD for it.
Or, you can look for someone that need compute power instead of storage & bandwidth and share cost with him.
