dedi/VPS with around 20TB storage, Gbit, big bandwidth, good CPU?
Looking for a big storage dedi or VPS for streaming.
Single IP is sufficient. Clientbase would be in Belgium, location is not important if good peering.
Storage: around 20TB netto
Link: Gbit
Memory: 8GB
CPU: 4 cores, minimum 3Ghz
Bandwidth: 10TB minimum
Any suggestions? Hetzner seems my best option so far with their SX130 at around 116.81 EUR incl. VAT.

hetzner:
*There are no charges for overage. We will permanently restrict the connection speed if more than 50 TB/month are used (the basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated). Optionally, the limit can be permanently cancelled by committing to pay € 1.41 per additional TB used. Please see here for information on how to proceed.
IIRC ext4 file system (widely used by CentOS 6 / Debian / Ubuntu / other Linux distros) has an upper limit of 16TB, so if you want to have 20TB in the same partition you might need to look for a newer OS.
CentOS 7 should be fine, not sure about others.
@drserver 50TB is plenty for me (luckily).
@PetaByet I have used LVM in the past so didn't know about that, thanks!
it is common ext4 problem, if you have that issue JFS is solution
LVM should be fine, if you run kernel 2.6+ and a 64 bit OS the limit is 8EB (virtually unlimited)
7x4TB SATA with RAID10 will provide you only 14TB netto storage.
I don't recommend to use any other raid levels for streaming.
@someSguy Why did not want to stay in OVH? Seems that you've chosen them as a host in your last thread.
@ru_tld: I do not need heavy streaming, so RAID6 will be just fine. I chose hetzner simply because of bandwidth and price.
why no go ovh, ovh have promo server 2016 cheaper
