I'm looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

Hetzner storage box is 3.81โ‚ฌ/month for 1TB.

Over the course of a year you basically bought an HDD (but excluding backups/power)

Off site storage is off site for a reason, though.

You could say this about any service.

You purchased a shit hard drive at that price and bad point anyway.

Eh, could be an average ish 2TB HDD

I had a hetzner box a while back but I didn't know about these storage boxes. This is pretty great. I've used rsync.net for many years but it's basically 3x the price and it's painfully slow.
