WTB: Dedicated Storage Server ~100TB / 10Gbps

Looking for a dedicated server to use as a storage/file server.
Must have:
~100TB storage (HDD is fine)
32–64GB RAM
CPU doesn't matter, nothing powerful needed
10Gbps unmetered preferred
1Gbps unmetered also OK
We have constant file transfers at the company, so bandwidth is the main priority. More bandwidth = more users transferring files simultaneously.
Budget:
10Gbps unmetered: up to $220/mo
1Gbps unmetered: up to $120/mo
Can negotiate depending on the offer
No need for fancy hardware. Old/cheap CPUs are totally fine — storage + bandwidth are what matter.
Please PM me with:
Disk configuration / capacity
RAM / CPU
Port speed + traffic policy
Location
Price
Setup fee, if any
Thanks!

Good luck finding proper 10G Unmetered with 100TB HDD for $220/mo.
10G(single upstream), 100 TB RAW should be $500-600/m LOL
10 Gbps port truly unmetered costs $520/mo on top of the server cost.
Good afternoon, thank you for the request. The budget is low for this request, however, I did send you an email for a quote with both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps unmetered. The costs for the servers hardware specifications are $275/m for the 1 Gbps, and $695/m with 10 Gbps unmetered. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks again!
What RAID are you looking to use ?
We have something with 96TB storage + 2 SSD but you would need to increase the budget for even a 1G unmetered
Dell PowerEdge R730xd chassis
2 x Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3
256 GB RAM
12 x 8 TB SATA HDD + 2 x 960 GB SSD
1 Gbps port with unmetered transfer included
Optional 10 Gbps port with 30 TB or unmetered transfer
1 IPv4 address included
Maidenhead, United Kingdom
1G - $379
10G - $612
Maybe if you agree a longer term contact than 1 month we can apply some discount
Fiberstate is out of stock currently, but if you send them a support ticket, they might be able to let you know when they're expecting more. It's not in your $120/month budget, but they list 98TB with 1G unlimited for $200/month on their site. It's closer to your request than anything else here so far.
Thank you very much; that’s close to my budget.
If you want to reserve any of these, please open a ticket with us:

You could have some luck getting an old Hetzner storage server transferred to your account. Check out this post on their forum. Transfer price is high but those monthly prices have been unseen for the last 2-3 years.
Thank you, I opened a ticked
@xHosts has a 10Gbps unmetered deal, cheapest I have found. 96TB raw so will be less with RAID:
Dual Xeon Storage Platform
128GB RAM
2 × 960GB SSD + 12 × 8TB HDD
10Gbps network (Unmetered bandwidth)
1 IPv4 included
£225.00/month (comes out to just over $300 USD)
Ofc 1Gbps will be much cheaper on other providers, but if you require 10Gbps xHosts is a good deal
This offer ended, we can offer this specification but not quite the same rates although we can try to work to fair budgets, especially if the server is for use long term
