I bought 35$/mo 16TB server from OVH. I am running 2 replicas of Garage, one on this server. I am using this for backup for now but probably I will also move my Nextcloud files there and websites. This is fine for now and less pricey than any S3 provider I was able to find.
Mind sharing the reference of the server?
I would have considered it when rebuilding my media infra but haven't seen anything close to this
I was fishing for nice price for server like that for few months. To be true I saw something similar but even cheaper last year and I should buy then for 20$, but thought that I do not need it. Now those servers are more like 60$/mo.
It was something like that. https://www.kimsufi.com/pl/?range=kimsufi&storage=12000%7C11...
As you can see price is 180% of that now for bit more storage.
Thanks!
Yeah I thought that it would be the KS range but didn't see anything close in term of pricing.
16TB for $35 is a no-brainer!
I'm currently migrating away from a KS because the disks are almost dead now so I had to go with another solution for TB storage.
But it was great when it was working!
Honest question, what do you need/use 16TB for? 4K video?
I already am using almost 4tb just for backup. 2TB for all of my files in NAS. As I wrote above I will most probably move my Nextcloud instance storage there so I will be already using 6TB of storage. With built-in instant replication between nodes in garage I should have instant backup of my files.
Right now I do not have time, but it would be nice to move storage all of my services there so in case of trouble with one server I could instantly spin them up on other machine by mounting S3 storage. Performance probably wont be great but if main machine will go down I will be still able to use my home automation for example on some secondary without much of a hassle.
Anyway having dedicated server and backup storage for 30$/mo does not seem unreasonable.
Lots of files with 2160p.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.DV.HDR.H.265-FLUX[TGx] in the name.
Back in my day, we downloaded 20mb episodes of Naruto in .rmvb format and liked it. Uphill!
both ways!
No, incremental backups of few machines for few years takes a lot of space.
