Any suggestions for bulk storage? I use their storage box for off-site backups of the nas critical data (a touch over 1TB). It's my tertiary backup (another off-site, a local full, and this) but I was testing it to replace my current off-site.
I've asked my vps provider about it, and it's on the roadmap but not yet ready, so I've been lightly searching around.
Purely for storage, no processing? I just finally got around to checking pricing and went with Backblaze B2. Not certain it’s the best, or cheapest, but I’m serving files out of it through cloudflare and it seemed to be a decent choice.
I had B2 a few years ago and it wasn't that cheap, even though everyone raved about it. I moved to synology's c2 backup, which is like a dollar fifty more a month but is well-integrated with their nas OS. But I'm up against the 1TB limit and to get more I'd have to get another TB. I thought Hetzner was the solution for this with their storage box but now I'm worried. And price-wise, 5TB of Hetzner is about the same of 2TB with synology c2... blah.
I use World Stream for many of my storage VPSs. They have pretty cheap servers that can take 14x or 18x drives. So I use their super powerful Epycs plus storage and then they can do an internal LAN only network for your boxes at 10G. 140TB to 200TB per box, connected to the rest of my stuff at 10G.
Their support is opposite of Hetzner. Everything is communicated. It's almost too much. You get emails that they're updating the air conditioning unit in a different building. Your downtime is zero. I've had some questions on setting up my rack space with them, and engineers respond back, not sales.
