Cheapest storage ($0.5 - ) $2.5 / TB / Month
- Hetzner "storage box" 1TB 5TB 10TB 20TB
- Backblaze personal backup (unlimited. Price per machine)
Cheapest & Future (Decentralized)
- Filecoin & IPFS (SIA, Storj,...)
- some latency, not designed for small files / databases
- might comes with 3 country locations by default / always
More:
- OVH kimsufi 4 x 2TB (not very convenient & only when on sale) - but you can set you can set ZFS deduplication and compression
- Rare Hetzner auctions with clunky things like 15 x 6TB
Small companies:
- Servarica ZFS
New:
- bulkvm (since june) (testing, but unfortunately didnt answer me anymore and why not just a little more ram?)
Gone:
- Google drive unlimited
@servarica_hani can you give me any coupon or custom offer <= $2 / TB of secure storage? (under NDA if you will) - When you sell ZFS double paritiy, what host systems are that? Can i get triple parity too? And will the zfs pool span a big server, so that customers profit from deduplication?

I watch your dynamic offers including some RAM and SSD but then it gets much more expensive.
Currently i only use ~10 TB of HDD storage + backup and only ~5 mbit average.
- Harddrives are mostly only for backups and log data, while for sorting & refining data, of course one needs SSD & RAM sometimes (and some always, for caching and ZFS). - Yet I still work only on 64GB DDR4 (as avaiable for $5 from OVH at times. No SSD. And 100ms latency to my storage...)
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
WHY IS THERE NO COMPETITIVE SSD HOST?
The SSD hosting prices are crazy by now, when actually buying SSD servers starts around $20/TB. (a 2020 Server with 24 x 8 TB NVMe, might costs $4000 and power consumption of SSDs is minimal. So despite the performance the prices are similar to HDD now. SSD can be even cheaper considering wear down, electricity and no hardware failures. (The 95th quantile of load or write speed could be limited therefore for low budget plans (almost nobody will constantly use the crazy high speed) - Yet as of now, my non-profit projects still can't afford hosted SSDs (like commerce can usually) (but my project are held back to HDD speeds, as if it was 20 or 30 years ago.
So of course i wonder to buy an SSD server, but why would i really have to? isn't that strange? Why does Nobodies offers such machine for an acceptable rent?
- Contabo gives 2400GB storage VPS "SSD" starting at 12,6€ ("-10% sales"), but they have 1 star on google and reviews and terms that these can be lost anytime with no backup (no raid even?) .

For those with parents or grandparents + fast internet:
100€ Mini-PC with Intel N100 or some old laptop (practically free)
50€ 4-Bay HDD enclosure on eBay or 100€ new
100€ each refurbished 12TB drive on eBay from a reputable seller
Buy everything using PayPal credit if you can't afford it in one go
= 36TB + 12TB parity for 25€/month for 2 years, afterwards free forever
(Your parents could copy several TB of data onto an external drive and mail it to you)
None of the cheap storage providers provide fast download/upload speeds, really sucks when transferring large amounts of data within a short period of time is necessary
Seems like a parallel dimension.
Hosthatch storage deal is $1.67 per TB.
Those are SANs, however I do not recall further details.
Also Servarica already has offers with the cost of terabyte below $2.50 per month. Not by much, but it's still less than $2.5/m.
Let me know if you need links.
☰ Storage — AMD EPYC VDS (ref) up to 4TB NVMe & 10TB SAN disk ／ Big HDD VPS (ref) from $2.42/TB/month
I went from Googles unlimited cloud (or may it was their 100TB offer) to uloz.to before switching to a selfhosted NAS. Uloz has been around for a while, I think they started as a filesharing site and switched to private cloud somewhere later. Their service used to be really good (may still is, cant tell).
5 TB Storage $6.5/mo
30 TB for data transfer/month
25 TB Storage $16/mo
150 TB for data transfer/month
50 TB Storage $32/mo
300 TB for data transfer/month
100 TB Storage $64/mo
600 TB for data transfer/month
Do their paid plans allow mounting the volumes SMB/CIFS or otherwise?
Rclone seems to support it
https://rclone.org/ulozto/
Is mega still good now? They're offering 16tb at 25EUR/mon.
It's like I don't exist, really.
Z Plus's default rates are $2.5/m/tb with our cheapest plan starting at $5 / month for 2TB volumes attached to VPS's. USA hosted, all equipment owned, arrays are 3x7 raidz-2 so there's enough IOPS to go around.
Our stuff's built on enterprise hardware, and I come from a background of running long term archives. I'm a strong believer you get what you pay for, so no my service isn't ideal - but I've done the math to ensure it's sustainable.
There will be a LES exclusive deal going up this Wednesday for 3.5TB of storage volume for $7/month from Z+
I also offer slot hosting, just mail in a 20tb drive and I'll host it.
I don't know how they are in other places, but it's hella slow here. I uploaded the same file to Hostbrr storagebox and Mega, and I was able to get files to the storagebox about 3 times quicker. the file was around 5 gigs or so. also might be because i am using the free storage.

You need better marketing. You spent time writing that post but failed to include a single link to your company website (which does not contain the word "plus" in the domain name at all making it especially difficult to locate). Also on your website your "About Us" page is well buried and could inspire more confidence in your company. Best wishes.
This is a help thread, figured it's not a place for me to advertise. I only posted what I do because it's topic relevant, if it was a requests' thread I'd have dropped a link directly to the order page and a YABS. I appreciate the feedback though. I'm always open to suggestions, feel free to DM me or call me out if I need to change things on the site etc.
HostBrrr had pretty good storage prices
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
