Nice setups, have it since 6month, but just one thing, if you want to use ZFS, no ssd cache or other disks available...
Only usb key they can map to your server.
So only compress, do not dedup :p
Dedicated Server: STOR-72T

Re: Dedicated Server: STOR-72T
#12I think, the price is incredible. Hetzner does have even more insane prices, they charge 300 € for 150 TB (yes, 150 TB! [1])
I mean, it's just a plain server. No "cloudish" stuff, but I see people too often using expensive storages without really needing it...
Re: Dedicated Server: STOR-72T
#13500 Mbps, unlimited is the real deal here. Datacenter grade unlimited connections are very valuable. Consider that someone like Google would charge you $0.10 per Gigabyte for egress traffic, and you can get that every 16 seconds with this connection...
I have no sources to link but from personal anecdotal experience, ~3$ a TB has been the average for every dedicated non-cloud provider I’ve used. I’ve not paid more than $10 a TB in quite a while.
This is not even counting bargain sellers like OVH, Online.net, Leaseweb, and Hetzner.
Higher tier datacenters like IBM (formerly Softlayer) offer 100tb dedicated servers for ~200$ through their affiliates and/or resellers.
Bandwidth prices have been on the decline everywhere except the cloud providers, who I honestly believe are gouging. Especially when I’ve encountered terrible throughput on some of them (I’m talking about you Azure, and your non-standard MTU mess)

https://cloudpricingcalculator.appspot.com - Iowa - Regional: 73,728 GB - Class A operations: 100 million - Class B operations: 100 million - Total Estimated Cost: USD 2,014.19 per 1 month I'm mildly impressed. I was expecting an extra zero or something. If I switch to "multi-regional" it goes up to $2,456.66/mo. On "regional" with 250 million ops, it's $2,824.19/mo. It's difficult (but of course ;P) to compare milli…
Add in the value of that 500Mbps unlimited connection to the internet... Egress - Americas/EMEA: 161,792 GB USD 13,260.80
Woops! Was typing the above while headed for bed, knew I'd forgotten something.
That'd be it ;)

Except OVH isnt a guaranteed 500mbit. It's best effort.
