A Storage Server that beats KS-1

Tempest · August 2022

Hey everyone,

I need a storage server located in the EU. Preferably something along the lines of KS-1 (From OVH) I'd appreciate at least a 500 Mbps network with a relatively high BW limit. I'd like to keep the server for a very, very long time, and it may house essential data, so high data reliability is very welcome.

Currently, on OVH, I have to keep another server just for the backups of my backups. But here are the specs for my OVH server:

Atom CPU
4GB RAM
2TB HDD

for $5.99/m.

I am more or less looking for similar pricing. Can go up to $8-10/m (would appreciate annual/biennial discounts then)

For any host reps, please do let me know of test IPs, location and preferably, a looking glass URL with download speed test, much appreciated!

If your needs are strictly backup have you considered Hetzner's storage box? They don't have a 2TB plan unfortunately, but for about $10 USD you can get 5TB of storage.

It's not in the EU but Servarica is still hosting their Polar Bear Storage offer for $50/year: https://servarica.com/all-offers/

No one can beat KS-1 it's legendary. Use hetzner storage box 1TB €2.90 upwards.

Not for that budget.
Hetzner right now has 24TB machines for 31€, 1.29€ per TB.

Can be lower than 1€/TB if you need over 100TB on Hetzner.
80 to be exact, with 128GB ram and a Xeon CPU.

I actually want to stay away from Hetzner, and the storage requirement is like maybe 5TB max, even 1TB should be fine. (VPS is okay, no need for a dedi)
