I need a server primarily for long-term backups and large file storage, but I don't want to overspend on high-end NVMe drives. Does anyone have suggestions for a cost-effective setup where raw capacity is more important than speed? Is there a specific type of plan that’s best for keeping a massive archive accessible without a huge monthly bill?

You can find very affordable VPS plans that offer high-capacity storage at a fraction of the cost. I use one for my secondary backups and it works perfectly for keeping large archives accessible without a massive monthly bill. It’s definitely the most cost-effective route for storage-heavy projects where raw disk space is more important than lightning-fast read/write speeds.
