I think you're selling rsync.net a little short here. I'm not aware of another service that offers a turnkey remote full filesystem (ie not just an object store) that you can access over SSH. Your Hetzner numbers are impressive, but I don't think there's anything available in the US for a similar cost. Most block storage I've seen is ~$10/mo/TB. I would love to be proven wrong on that. |

I know it's not what you meant but keep in mind that as-described, that's every single server provider.
And I think including what you meant (e.g. ZFS set up), it's literally a one-line command to create a new zpool on a new server.
I'm not saying that rsync.net is worthless but it's certainly not worth the price it's charging for anyone who cares about the price.

When I was in the US I came to the same conclusion, so went with colocation.
However OVH has a datacenter just over the border in Canada and its brands Kimsufi, SoYouStart and OVH [0-2] can get you down to $5/TBmonth.
And it looks like they actually have a couple of US datacenters now, which is new. A quick look shows that you can get a 16TB server for $92/month [3], which is $5.75/TBmonth.
But overall it looks like the dedicated server market in the US is still super expensive. You can always keep your bulk data in Europe.
