From $149/mo." url: "https://powerdedi.com/solutions/storage-backup" last_updated: "2026-10-15" publisher: "PowerDedi (https://powerdedi.com)" --- # Storage servers for backups, archives and object storage. Dense arrays of 22 TB enterprise drives with NVMe cache and ECC memory, from $1.69 per raw terabyte per month, on a 10 Gbps unmetered port that fills and restores at line rate. Recommended backup target Storage 88 TB - 6 cores / 12 threads · 3.8 / 5.1 GHz - 64 GB DDR5 ECC - 4 × 22 TB HDD + 2 × 1 TB NVMe - 10 Gbps unmetered 4 × 22 TB for 44 TB usable in RAID 10 or RAID 6, with NVMe for the OS and cache, in stock in 4 cities. ~~$249~~ −40% $149/mo In stock · ~15 min [Deploy this server](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-88) - 10 Gbps unmetered port - Always-on DDoS protection - IPMI / KVM access - IPv4 + routed /64 IPv6 - $0 setup, cancel anytime ## Built for capacity that moves. - **Low cost per terabyte** A fixed monthly price for the whole server, with no per-GB storage, request or retrieval fees. - **Line-rate transfers** 88 TB in under a day at 10 Gbps. Restores are limited by your disks, never by a traffic quota. - **ECC and NVMe cache** ECC memory for ZFS and object stores, plus two NVMe drives for metadata, cache or a hot tier. - **Your stack, your layout** ZFS or mdadm, restic, Borg, Proxmox Backup Server, Veeam, Garage, SeaweedFS or MinIO. ## Usable capacity by layout. Decimal terabytes before filesystem overhead. Pick the layout for your balance of capacity, speed and fault tolerance. *Usable capacity by layout* | Server | Drives | Raw | RAID 10 | RAID 6 (one group) | RAID 60 / RAIDZ2 groups | Per usable TB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Storage 88 TB](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-88); $149/mo | 4 × 22 TB | 88 TB | 44 TB | 44 TB | — | **$3.39** | | [Storage 264 TB](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-264); $469/mo | 12 × 22 TB | 264 TB | 132 TB | 220 TB | 176 TB | **$2.66** | | [Storage 528 TB](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-528); $999/mo | 24 × 22 TB | 528 TB | 264 TB | 484 TB | 440 TB | **$2.27** | RAID 6 across all 24 drives is possible but rebuilds slowly; two groups of 12 are the usual choice. Per usable TB uses the recommended layout. ## Storing 44 TB: a storage server vs object storage. Object storage is billed per gigabyte stored and per gigabyte downloaded. A storage server is one flat price, including the traffic to restore it. Amazon S3 Standard, list price $1,036/mo $0.023 per GB-month for 44 TB, plus about $4,055 in egress each time you download it all. Storage 88 TB, RAID 6 (44 TB usable) $149/mo Everything included: the server, the 10 Gbps unmetered port and every restore. Two of them in two cities: $298/mo. AWS us-east-1 list prices for the first 50 TB, checked September 2026. S3 stores data redundantly across several facilities; a single server does not, so compare like with like and keep a second copy. **Software that runs well here** - ZFS - mdadm - restic - BorgBackup - Proxmox Backup Server - Veeam hardened repository - Garage - SeaweedFS - MinIO - Ceph - Nextcloud - Syncthing ## Start from a proven configuration. Every price includes the 10 Gbps unmetered port, DDoS protection and IPMI. The struck price is the market median for the same hardware. - Backup target **Recommended** [Storage 88 TB](https://powerdedi.com/dedicated-servers/storage/88tb) ~15 min 3.8 / 5.1 GHz · Zen 4 - 6 cores / 12 threads - 64 GB DDR5 ECC - 4 × 22 TB HDD + 2 × 1 TB NVMe - 10 Gbps unmetered 44 TB usable in RAID 10 or RAID 6 for restic, Borg or Proxmox Backup Server repositories. $149/mo (market avg. $249, −40%) [Deploy](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-88) Available in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Zürich, New York. - Archive and media [Storage 264 TB](https://powerdedi.com/dedicated-servers/storage/264tb) 24 h 3.7 / 5.4 GHz · Zen 4 - 12 cores / 24 threads - 128 GB DDR5 ECC - 12 × 22 TB HDD + 2 × 1.92 TB NVMe - 10 Gbps unmetered 12 drives for 176 to 220 TB usable, with 128 GB ECC and 3.84 TB of NVMe cache. $469/mo (market avg. $779, −40%) [Deploy](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-264) Available in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, New York. - Object storage at scale [Storage 528 TB](https://powerdedi.com/dedicated-servers/storage/528tb) 72 h 2.9 / 4.15 GHz · Zen 4 - 24 cores / 48 threads - 256 GB DDR5 ECC - 24 × 22 TB HDD + 2 × 3.84 TB NVMe - 10 Gbps unmetered 24 drives, 256 GB ECC and a 24-core EPYC for S3-compatible storage of 440 TB usable. $999/mo (market avg. $1,669, −40%) [Deploy](https://powerdedi.com/order?plan=s-528) Available in Amsterdam, Frankfurt.

Tell us the drive’s serial number and we replace it, usually within 4 hours for standard parts under our SLA. Your array then rebuilds onto the new drive. ### Is a storage server a backup on its own? Not on its own. A single server can fail as a whole, so keep at least one more copy elsewhere, ideally in another city (the 3-2-1 rule). We do not back up your data. ### Can I encrypt everything? Yes, with LUKS or ZFS native encryption. You hold the keys; unlock remotely through the IPMI / KVM console or dropbear in the initramfs. ### Where are storage servers available? The 88 TB server is in stock in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Zürich and New York; the 264 TB in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and New York; the 528 TB in Amsterdam and Frankfurt. ### Is there a hardware RAID controller? No. Drives are attached through an HBA so ZFS and mdadm see them directly, which is what modern storage software expects. **More solutions** - [Blockchain nodes](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/blockchain-nodes) - [Streaming & CDN](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/streaming-cdn) - [Game servers](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/game-servers) - [AI & GPU compute](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/ai-gpu-compute) - [Web & SaaS](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/web-saas) - [Privacy & VPN](https://powerdedi.com/solutions/privacy-vpn) ## Deploy Storage 88 TB for $149 a month.
