Looks like a great deal! $1.04/TB is unheard of. I can't find anything even closer to that, tho -- best I could find was 50TB at $180/mo, and metered 10TB@10Gbps, and it's out of stock:
Any updates on your server or Crunchbits?
BTW, do you have any spare storage on that server and are willing to rent it, please let us know!
Keep in mind that you'll need space for erasure coding so that you have some protection against data loss.
NetDynamics has some good offers too.
Good point. As it's a dedicated server and possibly with enterprise drives and being used just as a remote backup (following the standard practice of 2 local backups plus a remote one), I would say just configuring these disks in a raidz1 pool should be enough (and then there would be 110TB of net available storage).
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately their equivalent 12*10TB setup costs quite a bit more at $169/mo, and is "not available" to order... :-/
Not sure if this is helpful to you or not but kdrive from infomaniak.com is USD$1.20 per TB if you get the 6TB plan.
EDIT: Apologies I just looked at their site again and I was wrong, they have a 3 users minimum and the price is per user. However they do still have a couple of decent options:
$5.98/mo for 3TB or ~$2/TB if you pay yearly its ~$1.80/TB if you pay 3 years is ~$1.60/TB
Just did a couple speedtests to TX on 10Gbps:
1 thread 650Mbps
10 threads 6000Mbps
Is this still available?
how do u set up erasure coding?
Hey,
Sorry I have been away for a bit. I got this special rate because I posted on a website hosting forum somewhere how it is hard to find just BARE storage for my budget. So, I got a message from a user on that forum saying he was the owner of crunchbits, and that he could offer me 120TB of space on a bare metal ( self administrated, they do not configure your server for you at all, so setting it up, keeping people out of your server, securing it etc, are all YOUR responsibility. I learned that quickly when I left the default ssh port @ 22, and 2 days later my Linux image was damaged/corrupt. I was running no firewall...I was a Linux newb ), after reading lots and LOTS of documents on Ubuntu, I have a fairly secure storage now.... best part, I was suppose to get a 1gb unmetered bandwidth...well, lets just say, I can download at close to 10gbps 
I actually asked them, if I could get another server, with the same specs for the same price. They said I could, they would add it to my account, I would have to pay it first, then they have to build it. So, it is possible to get another server at the same price and sub-lease it out at cost to someone. If I keep asking for more servers, I think they will figure out what I am doing though...
They wouldn't sell it to you, if they weren't making a profit.
Are you running any sort of RAID protection, or just JBOD? So if/when a disk dies, your data is lost?
Im running Ubuntu 24, with zfs raidz2. Its a dedicated server with full administrative access ( including bios access ).
