I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I’m looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I’m planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it’s 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

    And here I am running NFS as the backing storage on an R720xd for 4 other M630 VM hosts.

    Connected via SFP+ DAC. I get max bandwidth saturation, and ~65k IOPS!! NFS is great 😅

    You could use things like AWS S3 or similar offerings from other providers like digitalocean. They have plenty of documentation that guide you through how they work.
