Storage dedicated servers

Large Storage Dedicated Servers

Bare metal storage servers for archives, backups, media libraries, and data-heavy workloads that need dedicated disks.

Configure 20TB or 24TB SATA drives in a 12-bay chassis, with up to 288TB raw capacity and a 6-to-12-drive upgrade path as storage requirements grow.

Capacity without shared hardware

Storage servers built for data that keeps growing.

Large storage dedicated servers give you isolated CPU, memory, disks, network, and remote management for workloads where capacity and control matter more than a generic hosting plan.

High-capacity drive layout

Use 20TB or 24TB SATA drives in a 12-bay chassis for up to 288TB raw capacity, with room to plan around archive and backup growth.

TrueNAS and ZFS ready

TrueNAS includes the tools needed to configure storage arrays. ZFS is commonly recommended for snapshots, pools, and data integrity checks.

Upgrade path

Begin with a 6-drive configuration and move to a 12-drive configuration later when the storage footprint calls for more capacity.

Storage architecture

Simple, expandable, and tuned for storage arrays.

The large storage dedicated server option does not include hardware RAID cards by default. That keeps the base design simple and cost effective while leaving room to use ZFS, software-managed storage, or a custom hardware configuration when the workload requires it.

These servers are a strong fit for backup storage, archives, private cloud files, media repositories, log retention, replication targets, and data sets that need dedicated hardware with predictable capacity. They can also support privately managed Web3 infrastructure when archive nodes or indexers need capacity planned around chain growth.

Dedicated server infrastructure and management
Managed dedicated solutions

Dedicated infrastructure with room to customize.

InterServer provides dedicated servers located in owned and operated datacenter facilities. Base pricing starts with the selected CPU configuration, then hardware options such as SSD storage, hardware RAID, additional RAM, and storage-focused layouts can be added as needed.

That flexibility makes large storage dedicated servers useful when a project needs more control than shared hosting or cloud storage, but still needs practical support, monitoring, and a clear path to grow.

Large storage server FAQ

Questions before ordering storage bare metal.

Answers for buyers comparing large storage dedicated servers, backup servers, archive storage, TrueNAS systems, and custom bare metal storage builds.

What is a large storage dedicated server?

It is a physical server reserved for one customer and configured around high-capacity disks, useful for backups, archives, repositories, and private file storage.

How much capacity can I configure?

The storage-focused configuration supports 20TB and 24TB SATA drives in a 12-bay chassis, allowing up to 288TB of raw capacity before RAID, ZFS, or filesystem overhead.

Can I use TrueNAS, FreeNAS, or ZFS?

Yes. TrueNAS, formerly FreeNAS, includes storage array tools, and ZFS is a practical file system choice for storage pools, snapshots, and integrity checks.

Is hardware RAID included?

Hardware RAID is not included by default on this storage option, which keeps the base server simple and cost effective. Custom hardware options may be available.

Can I expand from 6 drives to 12 drives?

Yes. The 6-drive configuration can be upgraded to a 12-drive configuration when more storage capacity is needed.

What is included with the server?

Standard large storage server details include 1 IP address, a 1Gbps unmetered network port, zero setup fees, managed support, monitoring, and 4-48 hour provisioning guidance.
