I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I’m looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I’m planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it’s 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

How do you use them ? Do you mount the bucket locally on the server ?
