Alternatives to Delimiter Slot Hosting?

Are there any good alternatives to Delimiter's Slot Hosting? (They host your hard drives)
I'm looking to host 4 SATA drives.

@Volumedrive has that but with a 2TB limit per drive, which is painful these days. Next thing past that is a colo box. There's a nice one for sale in the general section.
I'd be afraid to send Volumedrive anything larger than a 250GB that I didn't expect to get back.
I think @vapornode may be willing to do this for drives up to 2 TB (based on https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2503325/#Comment_2503325)
@vapornode seems to do a thing: https://vapornode.com/storage-vps (click slot hosting)
Also I think @cociu said he did something like that on dedis, but I'm not sure.
We do but we don't currently have 4 slots available. Just 2 left.
We've done this in the past on our dedicated servers for some clients with a small setup fee.
Do you have a budget in mind and what capacity are the drive capacity you're trying to colocate? Some older machines won't support greater than 4TB.
Do you also have a location preference in mind for this?
Oops, I was thinking of Vapornode, not Volumedrive.
What would it cost to send, say, 2x1-2TB drive for offsite "warm" backups attacked to a smaller KVM?
I'm strongly moving towards a 'no help no frills eat dicks' rsync.net, but I'd still like a bit more control.
No location preference. It needs to support 5TB drives. I have a pile from another project that I want to use for this storage server.
I’m looking at roughly $40/month. Willing to pay 1 year upfront.
Yeah I’m looking at colo’ing an old 2U with 8 bays at Dacentec or similar as well. It would just save me the trouble if I could rent the server and provide the drives. I need this for long term storage so I have a feeling a provider would be willing to do this.
Delimiter used to offer a 6 slot server for around $60/month if you paid annually. I don't know if they still have that.
They do for $69/mo without a yearly option. But I am looking for an alternative to them.
