Remote storage solution ? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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 ?

Google and dropbox are ~10€ a month for 2 TB. Idk is that solution for you, but I would consider building NAS at home. I mean...this is selfhosted channel :)

For backup I use backblaze, but thats cheap only if you dont download a lot, also not sure can it be used for your case. Sry, not rly helpful (:

I'm never going with Google/Dropbox ^^ the goal is to be in control of my data. Backblaze could be an option, but I expect too many read/writee for it to be cheap.

I considered the NAS at home but my home net is not reliable enough.

TBH I'm still looking for a better option to share storage between servers other than NFS. There has to be something better in 2023!
