[Request] - A decent server with min. 32 GB RAM + 2 x 480 GB SSD - 250mbit+ connection

I'm doing a lot of testing with lots of virtual Windows servers and Workstations. Around 10-12.
Today I'm using my OVH server with 64 GB RAM and 4 x 2 TB drives + a online 32 GB RAM with 2 x 2 TB drives to do this testing.
But I do need SSD drives - since a lot of the testing create some IO usage, and on my "old" servers with old drives, it just do not go fast enough.

So I need a server with 2 x 480 GB SSD drives (or at least 1 x 240 + 1 x 480 GB) with at least 32 GB RAM and a CPU with 9000+ benchmark points. And I need to install Windows 2016 on the server so I can run Hyper-V.
I also need at least a 250mbit connection, more is better. Will not use a lot of bandwidth, I think 5 TB is more then enough.

    For, when I etc start patching of 10-12 VM's at the same time, disk IO is the only thing that slow me down. CPU and RAM usage is fine.

    When you can't offer me a better deal...I doubt anyone can. Maybe just go for Hetzner?

    probably nothing cheaper out there. only last week you should have grabbed an EX41-SSD at 39 € without setup fee :/

    PS: maybe hope for someone to come with an offer to transfer one out instead of simply letting go after a month
