Cheap storage-server (Hetzner/OVH alternatives?)
Hello!
I'm looking for a preferably cheap (or, reasonably priced) storage-server hosted in a European DC.
CPU and RAM isn't really that important, however diskspace is. I'd be looking at 3x1.5TB or better
I've checked Hetzner and OVH, but not really sure what's the best for me. If anyone has any good alternatives, please let me know!

Did you have a budget you can say here. That would certainly help with pointing you in the right direction.

Finding better than Hetzner for the price will be hard. Their new series are even with 3TB SATA III hard drives.

I strongly recommend that you go for Enterprise Hard Drives. Those are hard drives especially built for 24/7 operations. Western Digital's name for this is RE4.
We deal with thousands of servers and in the past we did not use RE4 for all our servers and we've had to deal with a lot of angry customers who had dying hard drives.
I would not trust 3TB hard drives at this moment.██ • Dedicated Servers in Europe and Asia: http://www.server.lu •

Well, as long as i can get atleast 6TB or more diskspace for as cheap as possible, it doesn't really matter. Transfer isn't really important either, hetzner's 5TB is good enough.

Yes, build one yourself and colocate it.
