Reliabilityno reliability event recorded
NotesThe two prices per card are read as a low and a high configuration of the same model, because the card says '3 Types' for SX65 and '1 Type' for SX295, but the page never prints a price beside a disk count. A per-TB figure for SX65 or SX135 would therefore be an inference about which price pairs with which drive set, so only SX295 is given one. Hetzner also sells a Storage Box on the same page at EUR 3.20/TB (1 TB), EUR 10.90 (5 TB), EUR 20.80 (10 TB) and EUR 40.60 (20 TB); that is a managed NAS product, not a rented machine, and it is out of this document's scope.
