Capacity is raw, and we say so.
Two hundred and forty terabytes across fifteen disks. What survives parity depends on your layout — anyone quoting a usable figure has chosen your layout for you.
Chassis bought for spindles rather than cores. Raw capacity, NVMe system disks, and an unmetered port — you build the array you want on top.

Every build: NVMe system disks · IPMI · 1 IPv4 · routed IPv6 /64 · always-on DDoS filtering · unmetered port · full API. Different disk counts and sizes are quoted per chassis — ask, we rack them.
Raw, on purpose
Every serious storage plan starts with a decision we should not make for you. RAID 6 or RAIDZ2, one pool or two, how much you spend on parity — those depend on what you are storing, and you know that.
Capacity is raw, and we say so.
Two hundred and forty terabytes across fifteen disks. What survives parity depends on your layout — anyone quoting a usable figure has chosen your layout for you.
NVMe system disks, separate.
The operating system, the metadata and a ZFS cache live on flash that is not part of the array. Spindles do bulk; they should never do random I/O.
Enterprise CMR, replaced on warning.
Rated for continuous duty, monitored, and swapped when SMART complains rather than when the drive dies. A rebuild you never notice is the whole point.
Unmetered, seriously.
A storage server you cannot read from is a very expensive paperweight. No egress meter, no fair-use clause hiding one, no shaping on the port.
No upsells
No protected-IP tier, no per-snapshot charge, no support plan to buy.
The whole machine
One tenant. Nothing else boots on it, nothing else touches the disks, nothing else shares the memory controller.
IPMI, not a support ticket
Full out-of-band control: power, console, virtual media. Reinstall at three in the morning without asking anyone.
IPv4 + a routed /64
One IPv4 included, a /29 on request, and a whole /64 of IPv6. Reverse DNS is yours to set.
DDoS filtering
Layer 3/4 scrubbing upstream of the port, on by default, at no charge and with nothing to enable.
Reinstall or bring an ISO
Twenty prepared images, or mount your own and watch it boot over the console. Nothing survives a wipe.
API and SSH keys
Order, reinstall, reboot and destroy from your own code. Keys installed at handover, password login off.
Before you order
Anything else, support answers in minutes — and says no plainly when the answer is no.
Open a ticketBecause fifteen disks have to be tested and initialised before we hand the machine over, and that is simply how long it takes. Four disks take thirty minutes, eight take forty-five. It is the slowest thing we sell, and rounding it down would only make the wait feel worse.
If you want. Tell support the layout and it will be built and handed over ready. Left alone, you get the disks bare and the controller in HBA mode, which is what most people building ZFS want.
Commonly, yes: a small VPS in front for the public service, this behind it on the private network for the bulk. Traffic between your own machines here does not cross the transit and is not billed.
Redundancy is not a backup — an array survives a dead disk, not a wrong command. Keep a copy somewhere else, ideally with another provider. We will say that even though it sends money elsewhere.
The rest of the range
Same jurisdiction, same network, same refusal to ask who you are. They differ on the one thing named in each title.
Ready when you are
No account needed to see every price, no identity needed to order. $139 a month gets you a server nobody can talk us into switching off.
