Storage Servers
Dense, high-capacity dedicated servers purpose-built for backup targets, media archives, object stores, surveillance footage, and large-scale data lakes. From 12-bay 2U configurations to 60-bay top-loaders, built on enterprise SAS and SATA drives with hardware RAID and full IPMI remote management.
Mixed SSD + HDD tiering available on request. All storage servers include 10G public network ports, /29 IPv4 allocation, IPv6 support, and hardware support by ticket. Deployed from our Ogden Utah and Los Angeles datacenters with N+1 power.

Two Storage Tiers
Performance or capacity — pick your axis
Storage workloads split into two camps. We build for both. NVMe when you need speed, HDD when you need scale.
Performance Tier
NVMe Storage
PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 NVMe drives with exceptional IOPS and throughput. Built for databases, AI training datasets, render farms, and any workload where storage is the bottleneck.
14,500 MB/s
Sequential Read
Up to 3M IOPS
Random IOPS
Up to 120 TB
Per Drive
Capacity Tier
HDD Storage
Enterprise SAS or SATA drives in dense chassis configurations. Optimized for backups, media archives, surveillance footage, and long-term retention where $/TB economics matter most.
2.5+ PB
Max Single Server
28 TB
Per Drive
2.5M hrs

Applications
What people actually run on storage servers
Two storage profiles, two sets of workloads. The split below mirrors how customers actually buy — performance-bound on the left, capacity-bound on the right.
NVMe — performance workloads
Database Servers
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB. Reduce query times and increase concurrency with sub-millisecond latency on every read.
AI Training Datasets
Eliminate the storage bottleneck during data loading. Keep GPUs saturated instead of waiting on disk I/O between epochs.
Video Editing & Render
Edit 8K RAW with real-time playback. Multiple high-bitrate streams concurrently, no proxy workflow required.
HDD — capacity workloads
Backup & Archive
Multi-petabyte capacity for system backups, snapshots, and disaster recovery images at the lowest $/TB available.
Surveillance Retention
Record high-resolution camera footage from hundreds of streams. Compliance-grade retention spanning months or years.
Document Repositories
Host massive content management systems, legal discovery databases, and enterprise archives at scale.
Technology Comparison
NVMe vs HDD, side by side
When to reach for high-performance NVMe versus high-capacity HDD. The headline numbers below cover most decisions — your workload pattern fills in the rest.
| Characteristic | NVMe Storage | HDD Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential Read | Up to 14,500 MB/s per drive | 200–280 MB/s per drive |
| Random IOPS | Up to 3M IOPS per drive | 200–300 IOPS per drive |
| Latency | Sub-millisecond (μs range) | 8–12ms seek time |
| Capacity per Drive | 12.8 TB → 120 TB (PCIe 4/5) | Up to 28 TB |
| Cost per TB | Higher — $15–25/TB/mo | Lower — $1.5–5/TB/mo |
| Best For | Performance-critical workloads | Capacity-focused applications |
Cost figures are reference ranges. Final pricing depends on drive count, RAID configuration, and chassis selection — see the inventory above or request a custom quote.
Service Boundary
What we run, what you run
Storage servers are unmanaged. We provide the hardware, the network, and the hands. RAID, filesystems, and software stack are yours to configure and tune — exactly how serious storage operators want it.
Customer-Managed RAID & Filesystem
NVMe servers ship with soft-RAID/JBOD; HDD servers include hardware RAID controllers or JBOD mode. Pick your RAID level, filesystem (ZFS, BTRFS, XFS, EXT4), and tuning. Unmanaged service — configuration is your responsibility.
Hot-Swap Drives & IPMI Access
All chassis support hot-swappable drive bays — replace failed drives with zero downtime. IPMI/BMC out-of-band access for remote KVM, power control, and firmware updates.
Hardware Support by Ticket
Facilities staffed around the clock across LA, Ogden, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Dallas. Full SMART data is available through your OS, so you can set alerting thresholds that match your workload. Open a ticket for hardware-level issues and it goes straight to our techs.
Multi-Petabyte Deployments
Need something the inventory doesn't cover?
Custom drive counts, multi-chassis JBOD arrays, ZFS pools across 60+ bays, hot-spare configurations — our storage team designs to spec. Quotes within one business day.
