[Request] 16TB+ Storage VPS/Dedi | 1Gbps+ | $400-500/2yr | Black Friday
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a budget-friendly storage VPS or dedicated server, especially with Black Friday coming up.
Preferred specifications:
- Type: KVM VPS or dedicated server (bare metal)
- CPU: 4 cores or better
- RAM: 16GB+
- Storage: 16TB+ usable capacity (HDD / SSD / NVMe)
- Network: 1Gbps full-duplex minimum, 2.5–10Gbps preferred if reasonably priced
- Traffic: 100TB/month preferred (flexible)
- Disk I/O: Good random I/O performance is more important than port speed
- IPv4: 1 address
- DDoS protection: Not required
- Location: Europe preferred, but open to other locations
Budget: Around $400–500 for 2 years (~$16.67–20.83/month).
I'm also open to higher-priced offers depending on the specifications, disk performance, and overall value.
My main priorities are large usable storage capacity, reliable disk performance, and stable network connectivity. I don't necessarily need a 10Gbps port if a 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps connection performs consistently.
Older hardware, clearance deals, special promotions, and transferable existing plans are all welcome.
If any providers have upcoming Black Friday offers, or if anyone knows of good storage deals within or close to this budget, I'd appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks!

Won't happen, you need to 2x or 3x your budget.
Same offer if you found I would like to get a dozen for the boys

else just gamble OVH and pray
16TB HDD Sure...But NVME? you arent going to get 16TB+ NVME for this price
What was ur usecase? If only used for backup then maybe Hostburr storage boxes + a decent vps?
Mainly for PT seeding and cross-seeding with qBittorrent, not just backups.
HDD is perfectly fine. I'm not expecting 16TB of NVMe at this price. My main concern is disk I/O performance, especially random reads when handling lots of torrents.
A storage box + VPS could work, but I'd prefer local storage to avoid potential I/O bottlenecks.
1Gbps is enough for my needs. Thanks for the suggestion!
Just get a HBD app slot
HostHatch usually has decent storage promos - but they don't have set sale days so just wait for BF and pray.
I got an out-of-cycle promo that I think gives me 14TB HDD (plus small OS drive) for $375/24 months. That works out to $1.12/TB which I think is a really, really good price.
@nikio Looks like we might have the same HostHatch deal! The price is excellent, but disk I/O performance on mine hasn't been great, especially under heavy torrent workloads.
Just curious, how's the disk I/O performance on yours? Have you experienced any similar issues?
I'm using mine for nightly backups and not torrents, so I guess I don't notice a difference.
Generally speaking though if you care about performance (racing) you don't want to be sharing a disk with randos. Dedicated attached storage or a full dedicated server will do you better. Also your peers are just as likely to be slowAF, it might not be a throughput issue (assuming you are not racing).
