Looking for massive storage server – 60 x18 TB SAS in Western Europe (not U.S)

The price you’re after, without bandwidth, only makes sense if a provider is sitting on the hardware and has no prospects of renting it out. They might offer that price just that one time, just to get it out the door. Then it just barely makes sense at the price you asked, but without bandwidth.

In europe, costs are higher in general, especially for electricity, which this kind of server uses a lot of. It simply is not a realistic price.

A “good deal” is about 50% more than your budget while a typical price is more like double.

For the static files.

1 Tb = 10^12 bytes.

If your files have 10^4 bytes on average, then
your site hits the storage ~ 10^8 times per month.

The ordinary mechanical HDD can serve
this load, if it will be distributed steadily.

Yet better, if the files, which are
requested frequently, are cached.

The problem is, that the load may
have the sharp peaks, during which the
mechanical HDD may be too slow.

If your files are not static,
but are generated on the fly,
especially with many requests
to the storage for every file
(like the pages from the content
management systems), then,
most probably, the mechanical
HDD will not be able to serve
your load during the peaks.
