|---|---|
| Price | €1.69/TB/mo at the 16 TB tier (€26.99/16). 5 TB workload: buy the 8 TB tier = €1.87/TB/mo. 20 TB workload: buy the 32 TB tier = €2.00/TB/mo. ~$1.83 / $2.02 / $2.16 at 1.08 USD/EUR. Black Friday flash (8 TB, recurring, 15 units) = €1.02/TB/mo. |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | not stated |
| Egress | VERBATIM: "Internet egress: Unlimited@100Mbps (~30TB/Month / ~1TB/Day)" + "Burst egress: 10Gbps 500GiB/month" + "DC internal: Unlimited at 10Gbps" + "Ingress: Unlimited at 10Gbps". This is the honest form of unmetered: the cap is a 100 Mbit/s port, not a byte counter, and the vendor states the implied monthly figure (~30 TB). The 10 Gbps burst allowance IS a real 500 GiB/month counter. free_allowance: 30TB per month |
| Identity | email email |
| Limits |
CPU/IO fair-use (0.5-1 core, standard IO priority). RAID5 survives one drive. 25% burst quota above allocation; bonus disk grows with account age. Live fleet stats published (median 25.7 users/server, 37.1 ms disk response, 24.1% disks busy) — unusually honest disclosure. |
| Binding | per-ip-shaping The port is the ceiling, not the byte counter: 100 Mbps sustained is 1.08 TB (0.982 TiB) per day, so the client's 1 TiB/day serving target sits at 101.8% of the port. |
| Interface | s3, webdav, sftp, ftp, scp, rsync, ssh, rclone SFTP, SCP, FTP(S), rsync, WebDAV, HTTP(S), SSHFS, SSH, Docker rootless, BorgBackup, Restic, rclone |
| Tooling | rclone as a plain SFTP/WebDAV destination; Borg and Restic preinstalled; full rclone serve s3 / MinIO possible via docker rootless |
| Composes with | Pools cleanly behind AList/OpenList (WebDAV) or rclone serve s3, then Cloudflare. Same-datacenter transfers to a PulsedMedia seedbox run 70-75 MB/s, so the hot/cold split (hot on seedbox NVMe, cold here) is a native pattern. |
| Reliability | Finnish own hardware (Helsinki Lauttasaari, Kerava). V-series is RAID0 — pick M-series. Not a hyperscaler; a one-shop provider. |
| Notes | 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 TB tiers. 16 TB = €26.99/month, monthly billing. 32 TB = €63.99/month. |
