server-factory.com NAT storage VPS deal starting from €2 per TB

185

server-factory.com is a new VPS provider on the market launched in early 2022. They’re known for very affordable AMD EPYC and Ryzen VDS services in the Netherlands location. Personally, I have been using their EPYC and Ryzen VDSs and they have been rock solid so far.

Several months ago, they launched a NAT storage VPS offer that costs only €2 per TB per month if paid biennially for a NAT storage VPS with 2 GB RAM, 1 Intel Xeon Gold CPU, and 1 TB RAID-10 HDD. Otherwise, paying €3 monthly for such a storage VPS is still a great deal compared to other storage providers. You have to know how a NAT VPS works to use it though. If not, they also have plans with a dedicated IPv4 which cost slightly more per month.

You can find their NAT storage VPS deal at https://my.server-factory.com/cart/storage-vps.

This deal is hosted on HPE Cloudline CL3100 Gen10 Server with the following specs.

  • 2x Intel® Xeon® Gold 6152 Processor BASE CLOCK 2.1 GHZ / BOOST CLOCK UP TO 3.7 GHZ
  • 512 GB 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC RAM from Samsung with 256 GB RAM dedicated to ZFS
  • 2x Samsung PM893 240 GB Datacenter SATA SSD in RAID 1 for Proxmox Virtual Environment
  • 12x Toshiba MG09 18 TB 7200rpm SATA HDD in ZFS RAID 10 for Virtual Private Server
  • 2x 10 Gbit Uplink with LACP

Here is a yabs result which looks really great, especially the disk speeds. Thanks to the cybertech user from LowEndSpirit.
