Please recommend me cheap storage DS

sonic

Hi, I'm looking to buy 5-10 storage servers and more next time. I found this offer is nice ( http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/superplan_storage.xml ), but i still want to look for better choice from your recommendations.

CPU: E3 is fine enough Location: EU HDD: 8TB (soft raid) BW: like ovh offer is ok (Traffic is unlimited. If you exceed 15 TB / month, the connection will be limited to 10 Mbps. 100 Mbps connection will be restored once additional TB of traffic have been purchased (after what you have exceeded has been taken away). £0.89 ex. VAT per TB (Minimum purchase 2TB). ) Budget: 80-100 USD/month/server

Should i buy from OVH reseller for better price?

Why not just buy like multiple Kimsufi 2G?

If it's just for storage, check out FDCServer's backup deals in Zlin.

I'd recommend the 2G if its only backup (rsync works nicely). Personally, I don't see the need for better CPUs.

Edit: Curse you @Nick_A for beating me!

sonic

No, it's for file sharing service, not for backup :D FDCServer seems higher price :D

Oh its for file sharing?

Sorry mostly when I hear storage servers I think of backup servers.

I'd say get a Hetzner then.

For example: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex4

Many tks!!! Hetzner offer seems nice, but BW price is higher than OVH right?

Well OVH and Hetzner are both "Unlimited", but if you go over 10,000GB/month then you get reduced.

OVH its: £0.89 per TB Hetzner: 6,90 € per TB

I mean 10TB is already a ton of bandwidth to use, but if you need more and its suddenly down then Kimsufi (OVH brand) is another alternative. Although remember that Kimsufi comes with NO SUPPORT AT ALL. More than likely, their support won't get back to you for a few days but most of their stuff is autmoated anyways (including OS reinstalling and server management) so, it all depends on your preference really.
