Cloud object storage charges per gigabyte, every month, plus fees to download your own data. A storage server charges one flat price for the whole box. Once you are past a few terabytes, that is far cheaper.
These machines suit off-site backups, Plex and Jellyfin libraries, Nextcloud, seedboxes, log archives and any project that needs space more than speed.
Compare by price per TB
The home page lists today's cheapest server per terabyte. Larger boxes usually win on that number even when the monthly price is higher.
Questions people ask
Are the drives in RAID?
Drives are delivered as separate disks. Set up RAID 1, 5, 6 or 10 during install, or ask for it at checkout.
Is there a download fee?
No per-GB fees. Each server lists its port speed and traffic allowance, and many are unmetered.
