Depending on where you work.
As for home storage servers, personally I have a primary one with 10 TB of usable space (7x2TB RAID6), and a backup one with 6 TB (4x2TB RAID5). Also have some 2-3TB drives idle/empty, but as both RAIDs have about 1.5 TB free each, there's no need to expand further for the moment...
I wonder if this thing can store 80TB of data
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/unlimited
Someone on Reddit dumped around 32TB's on to it in like a week from their 1Gbit connection and amazon did not complain about it .
But amazon clouddrive has really messed up TOS (It basically says - "Ones you upload data to clouddrive, they can practically do anything with it and own the data.") . Which is one of the reasons OP wants a server , rather than object storage , to be the only one with access to his/her data.
OP also mentioned he is open to encrypting data before putting it to object storage
I am using acdcli to store data in cloud drive in a encfs container. It's certainly not something stable. (FUSE write support is not 100%, etc..)
@MarkTurner : I suppose you are from delimiter? "Storage" VPS : max 500GB..
Most "storage vps" offers here on lowendtalk go about 3TB max..
Do you think if you perma delete your files from there, you'll also erase it from ALL of their servers? I highly don't think so.
You made me read their TOS and it's like what you've said. Given they make backups of the data and manipulate the images to present them in multiple format, I doubt that even perma-deleting solves the issue.
Luckily, I only dumped free to use images and some project images as nth backup there. No longer.
I guess, @MarkTurner ?
Who said anything about 500GB? Delimiter's StorageVPS scale upto 100TB per disk
You can subdivide the storage as you need into separate disks, its very flexible.
These are not our modern storage VPS products, these are some antiquated thing from 2013/2014
How good is your Internet connection at the source? Initially pushing stuff of the order of 10s of Tbyte is going to take some time unless you have a very nice fibre link, and pulling it all back down in case of a disaster requiring a full restore could be painful too. As most of it is likely static, you could be better off saving it to multiple external drives & storing them at friend's houses so they are off-site and only keeping the actively changing data to a truly remote location?
http://wiki.delimiter.com/display/DEL/StorageVPS:+Quick+Start is it modern one?
Well, I can't find anything about storage vps on the delimiter.com website. Google only suggests this page; https://clients.delimitervps.com/cart.php?gid=63
@bersy - this is the wiki article on it:
http://wiki.delimiter.com/display/DEL/StorageVPS:+Quick+Start
The ones you mentioned are non-HA, just openvz containers backed by a pile of disks. The modern ones are full HA.
For kicks - 100TB StorageVPS:
df -h:
5% reserved for superuser really hurts at the 100TB scale :-)
How long did that mkfs take?
I know that whats I thought! Need to tune that.
Just playing with software RAID0 to stripe across multiple disks, it helps performance as it uses the multipathing properly
I'm currently trying to! Gonna be a while though.
I had read the TOS when I signed up and I thought it was mostly fine, I don't recall seeing anything about this, I'll have to re-read it. Thanks. And yes, I like the idea of being the only one(presumably) with access to the server, so even if my stuff is encrypted, in theory no one should have access to it to just "take a peak" or anything. At least not super easily anyway.
Indeed, that is certainly within the plan.
I only have 20mbps upload sadly(thanks America), but that is about 6TiB per month out if I go full all the time, which I usually am. I also have plans (mentioned on the first page somewhere) to colo either my NAS, or a secondary NAS nearby my home on a gbit connection and then I can bring drives over to the colo and plug them in and then backup from there.
In case you wanted to know how 200TB (2 x 100TB in software RAID0) runs:

df -h:
And the infamous but compulsory dd test
:
Fio is better as you can run parallel tests:
15 jobs/1MB blocks:
If we drop to 64KB blocks like the DD test, things getting pretty crazy:
20k IOPS is not bad
Any way to know your pricing without signing up?
The landing page isn't up yet, what storage do you need?
The TOS is like i said ,here are some references

I would only use it as a backup to another backup , even google drive is better in that sense , atleast for now.
keep in mind that bad attempt at humanity, dude from lostprophets that was convicted of raping a 1 yr old, had a 27tb collection.
I prefer not to keep that in my mind.
Interesting factoid you know. English is not my first language, so I'm not sure I understand the relevance of this though?
Also, I don't really feel like talking about the subject, but who finds 1 y/o attractive? That is like, idk, weird.
yes. It was close to 24tb and a porn collection and I had recently re-read the news about the trial and the 27tb was a new fact for me. "keep in mind".well,I get the next pixelsmack

Understatement of the year right here
Colocrossing server or backupsy.
Backupsy: 2TB for $80..
Colocrossing: max 4x1TB..
Was mention on the first page, but thank you anyway.
Yeah, I don't know any better word for it. I don't believe it is my place to attach labels like "sick" or something, that is for people who are my betters, like a court judge, to decide.
