Google sells 2TB of space on Google drive for $10/month. I'm looking to move my data elsewhere. Can anyone recommend a European based alternative with a roughly similar cost?
hetzner storage box $4 per month for 1 TB and $13 for 5 TB.
Thank you very much!

Good lord it even supports BorgBackup. Thank you very much!

I used them when I was in europe but migrated away after I came stateside.
Not a problem for cold-storage/batch jobs of course.
Based on the data, it seems they have 4.4 petabytes of storage under management. Neat. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E4MS84SbSwWILVPAgeIi...

I'm sure you're aware but consider putting another drive in for some flavor of RAID, it's a lot easier to rebuild a RAID than to rebuild data usually! Edit: By "some flavor" I mean hardware or software.
RAID doesn't cover all of the scenarios as offsite backup, such as massive electrical power surge, fire, flood, theft or other things causing total destruction of the RAID array. Ideally you'd want a setup that has local storage redundancy in some form of RAID and offsite backup.

OneDrive space (through MS365 single or family licence) works out much cheaper in my country. I'm sure in the EU it is GDPR-compliant. YMMV but OneDrive has been improving a lot. Their web photos browsing is comparable to Google Photos these days.
I wish there was a way to underspin (RPM) some of these drives to lower noise for non-datacenter use - the quest for the Largest "Quiet" drive - is a hard one. It would be cool if these could downshift into <5000RPM mode and run much quieter.
I wonder if that's even technically possible these days. Given the fact that the heads have to float on the moving air (or helium) produced by the spinning platter, coupled with modern data densities probably making the float distance tolerance quite small, there might be a very narrow band of rotation speeds that the heads require to correctly operate.
