×0.8 is the usable figure after RAID and filesystem overhead - the number we quote on purpose. Root NVMe on every Storage SKU, never a protocol box.
Durability and snapshots
- Root NVMe - Every Storage SKU is a whole KVM machine with a local NVMe disk and your root password on it - not an SMB or NFS appliance.
- RAID - On request: mirror or stripe configured at deploy. The capacity tables apply the 0.8 usable factor throughout.
- Snapshots - $9.50/mo add-on - versioned restore points managed from the panel.
- Offsite - Borg, Restic or rsync to a second city over the same unmetered port you serve from.

Big-disk alternatives side by side, verified September 2026. The boxes quoting less per TB are HDD or archive services without root, settled by card or gated behind an ID upload; for a crypto-only, ID-free root NVMe server, NulNet is the floor.

| NulNet Storage | $24.00 / 1 TB NVMe | $24.00 | 16 coins incl. XMR | — |
| Hetzner Storage Box | €3.20 / 1 TB | ~$3.50 | no — cards/bank only | can demand gov ID; not a root VPS (SMB/rsync only) |
| BuyVM Slabs | $5.00 / TB (attach-only) | $5.00 | via CoinPayments | a compute slice is required; legal name and address in the ToS; Cloudzy subsidiary |

Keep researching
Built for private storage workloads
Storage without a name attached: signup takes no ID, the invoice runs Monero or Bitcoin, and the root password on the NVMe is yours.
Private backups
Borg, Restic and rsync land here with snapshot history on tap. The invoice is an XMR one and the account carries no name.
Nextcloud / file cloud
A Dropbox you actually own: 1-5 TB NVMe, the users and share links under your hand.
Media library
Jellyfin or Plex streaming over an unmetered 2.5-10 Gbps port to every screen in the house.
Cold archives & datasets
Crawl corpora, WARC sets, model weights - bulk NVMe that stays reachable instead of thawing on request.
FAQ
Is this the cheapest storage VPS with crypto?
At Depot 1 you pay $30 list or $24/mo billed annually for 1 TB of root NVMe with 8 GB ECC behind an unmetered port. Boxes undercutting that per terabyte usually trade down to HDD, gate the disk behind SMB, or want a card with a name on it. This line stays root-NVMe and no-KYC.
Can I pay a storage VPS with USDT?
Yes. USDT rides TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and SPL, next to Monero and Bitcoin. No KYC step anywhere on the storage line.
Do I get root?
Yes. It is the same KVM root a compute VPS gives you — your kernel, your SSH keys — with 1 to 5 TB of local NVMe behind it.
What is it for?
Private backups, archives, media libraries and seedboxes. Unmetered port, no passport.
Is there KYC on storage?
No. Same checkout as VPS and dedicated.
Storage in Singapore, Tokyo or Reykjavik?
Yes. All 21 locations, same $24–$56 ladder.
How big is the largest disk?
Depot 5 tops the line: 5 TB NVMe, 8 vCPU, 32 GB DDR5 ECC, a 10 Gbps unmetered port — $70 list, $56/mo on the annual term.
Snapshots?
Optional add-on at checkout. The disk itself is local NVMe, not a network archive.
