  • 5TB would be enough @ 1Gbps?

    that would be enough

    I have a 400GB storage VPS with 2.5TB of bandwidth. It is enough for me.

  • depends how much you really pushing through
    but i guess 5TB would be quite sufficient for normal cases

  • Just put some price per GB/TB of transfer and then everyone can use as much as they really need.

    2 - 3TB for me

    You metering outbound only or in + out?

    Depends. I have people on my storage servers using a wide range. Anywhere from 100mb to 20TB

  • Minimum 3 x storage

  • so 1.5 2TB would be fine? 5TB is overkill?

  • @serverian 5TB sounds like a warez FTP.

    Not unless you are talking about disk space...

  • @serverian said: so 1.5 2TB would be fine? 5TB is overkill?

    IMO yes

    For some people 1 - 2 TB is enough.

  • I'd go with 2.5TB. It's right in the middle and gives a bit more which will be useful for some.

  • Do you guys use storage vps for backups and just second copy's?

  • 500GB disk = 3-5x bandwidth = 1.5TB - 2.5TB per month.

    If the storage is for genuine backups, then users should only be accessing it for emergencies only. 1TB should be fine really. If you're aiming it at collaboration workers then maybe higher. I use a cloud storage service for my personal backups and end up rarely downloading anything as it's only there for hard disk failure etc.

    5-10TB would probably be nice depending on the use case imo

  • 2.5 TB is enough.

    Depends how often you push data to it and whether you transfer full backups or incrementals.

    It's plausible to use 5TB, it'd just mean pushing 7 GB of backups every hour or pushing 85 GB per 12 hours.

  • @lbft said: It's plausible to use 5TB

    Yeah, thats why I said 5-10TB
