Hello!! Some recent technical problems on my family’s NAS gave me a big scare and finally pushed me to figure out a way to back it all up. I’m asking here specifically because I really don’t know where to even starts because of the fact I’ve got just under 50 terabytes worth of data stored in a 7-disk RAID-5 and would prefer to keep it cheap. What are your suggestions?
You can have more than 2x 22tb, the SX line is full of storage servers!
SX65 2x 1TB nvme 4x 22tb (~104€ 0%VAT) SX135 2x 2tb nvme 8x 22tb (~204€ 0%VAT) SX295 2x 8tb nvme 14x 22tb (~384 0%VAT)
If you manually add the disks to configurations like AX-line, there is a limit, that may be bypassed if you contact hetzners support, but that’d be expensive compared to the SX line I reckon.
Also, Hetzner’s server auction has quite affordable 4x 16tb servers, starting from 63€ 0%VAT, that’d be pretty affordable RAID1- solution, ~1€ per TB/month.
Unlimited traffic on all of the above, and a sidenote: SX line servers have one-off setup fees, server auction has no setup fees.
