Free tier	1 TB per slice, 1–20+ slices stacked unit TB; metered on unstated
Price	$3.00/TB/mo flat at 1, 5, 10, 20 TB — genuinely linear, no tier discount. Caveat: 2 TB transfer per TB stored does not cover 30 TB/mo serving at 20 TB stored (40 TB included, so it does at 20 TB; it fails at 10 TB stored where only 20 TB is included).
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Metered per slice: 'Each storage VPS slice adds 1TB SATA storage, 2GB memory, 2TB transfer'. A 2:1 ratio. At 10 slices = 10 TB storage and only 20 TB/mo transfer — below the client's 30 TB/mo serving need. Overage rate not published on the page. free_allowance: 20 TB per month

Notes	Wall: the direct fetch of the vendor page returned upstream 403 and the text was served through the broker's exa reader, so the vendor figures here were read from an extraction rather than from a raw HTML fetch, and the page came back with no extraction step. The tracker and the vendor disagree on port speed for the same slice, 2 Gbps against '10Gbps Shared'; the vendor figure is recorded and the disagreement is left visible rather than reconciled. Rows above one slice were not read, so the per-slice price ladder is unverified. Not in dossier/compute (searched: interserver, no compute record); dossier/storage/interserver-storage-vps.json covers the 1 TB-per-slice storage line. would-settle: the price at 8 and 32 slices, and whether transfer pools per account or per slice.
