## PulsedMedia M10G Storage Box (16 TB)

- `storage/pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box` | qualifies | evidence documented | binding per-ip-shaping | category storage VPS / storage box (HDD, RAID5)
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-22, checked 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-21
- url https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php
- price €1.69/TB/mo at the 16 TB tier (€26.99/16). at 5 TB: buy the 8 TB tier = €1.87/TB/mo. at 20 TB: buy the 32 TB tier = €2.00/TB/mo. ~$1.83 / $2.02 / $2.16 at 1.08 USD/EUR. Black Friday flash (8 TB, recurring, 15 units) = €1.02/TB/mo. | parsed USD 1.89/TB-mo
- free tier: 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 TB tiers. 16 TB = €26.99/month, monthly billing. 32 TB = €63.99/month. | unit: TB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: "Internet egress: Unlimited@100Mbps (~30TB/Month / ~1TB/Day)" + "Burst egress: 10Gbps 500GiB/month" + "DC internal: Unlimited at 10Gbps" + "Ingress: Unlimited at 10Gbps". This is the honest form of unmetered: the cap is a 100 Mbit/s port, not a byte counter, and the vendor states the implied monthly figure (~30 TB). The 10 Gbps burst allowance IS a real 500 GiB/month counter. | metered: no | free allowance: 30TB per month
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: s3, webdav, sftp, ftp, scp, rsync, ssh, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 100 Mbps sustained internet egress; 10 Gbps burst capped at 500 GiB/month [1]
- limits note: CPU/IO fair-use (0.5-1 core, standard IO priority). RAID5 survives one drive. 25% burst quota above allocation; bonus disk grows with account age. Live fleet stats published (median 25.7 users/server, 37.1 ms disk response, 24.1% disks busy) — unusually honest disclosure.
- interface detail: SFTP, SCP, FTP(S), rsync, WebDAV, HTTP(S), SSHFS, SSH, Docker rootless, BorgBackup, Restic, rclone
- tooling: rclone as a plain SFTP/WebDAV destination; Borg and Restic preinstalled; full rclone serve s3 / MinIO possible via docker rootless
- composes with: Pools cleanly behind AList/OpenList (WebDAV) or rclone serve s3, then Cloudflare. Same-datacenter transfers to a PulsedMedia seedbox run 70-75 MB/s, so the hot/cold split (hot on seedbox NVMe, cold here) is a native pattern.
- reliability: Finnish own hardware (Helsinki Lauttasaari, Kerava). V-series is RAID0 — pick M-series. Not a hyperscaler; a one-shop provider.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence note: The page states the number in the record; the claim is documented, not measured.
- extras:
  - price_verbatim: €1.69/TB/mo at the 16 TB tier (€26.99/16). at 5 TB: buy the 8 TB tier = €1.87/TB/mo. at 20 TB: buy the 32 TB tier = €2.00/TB/mo. ~$1.83 / $2.02 / $2.16 at 1.08 USD/EUR. Black Friday flash (8 TB, recurring, 15 units) = €1.02/TB/mo.

## PulsedMedia — M10G Storage Box 16TB

- `storage/pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box-16tb` | qualifies | evidence reported | binding per-ip-shaping | category seedbox/storage-box hosting
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php
- price 16TB: €26.99 -> €1.69/TB/mo (~$1.94). 32TB: €63.99 -> €2.00/TB. 8TB: €14.99 -> €1.87/TB. 4TB: €8.99 -> €2.25/TB | parsed USD 1.89/TB-mo
- duplicate of `storage/pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box`
- disagrees on verdict: `storage/pulsedmedia-eternal-v-in-m-inen-1-99-storage-tiers` says fails-egress, `storage/pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box-16tb` says qualifies
- free tier: 16 TB HDD RAID5 (4/8/16/32 TB tiers) | unit: TB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: "Internet egress: Unlimited@100Mbps (~30TB/Month / ~1TB/Day)" + "Burst egress: 10Gbps 500GiB/month" + "Ingress: Unlimited at 10Gbps". Genuinely unmetered, rate-shaped at 100 Mbps sustained (~1 TiB/day). Not a byte cap. | metered: no | free allowance: 30TB per month
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: s3, sftp, ftp, scp, rsync, ssh, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 100 Mbps [1]
- limits note: 100 Mbps sustained egress; 500 MB RAM on storage boxes; RAID5 single-parity
- interface detail: SSH, SCP, SFTP, FTP(S), HTTPS, public HTTP(S), SSHFS, Rsync, Rclone, Restic, Borg, Docker (rootless), WireGuard/OpenVPN
- tooling: rclone native, restic/borg native, plain SSHFS mount — no S3 endpoint
- composes with: SSHFS/rclone mount -> AList/OpenList -> Cloudflare in front for the fetch workload.
- reliability: Own DC in Finland, 15+ yrs operating; storage-box tier is 500 MB RAM so Nextcloud-on-box is impractical — use it as a filesystem only.
- notes: 16 TB HDD RAID5 (4/8/16/32 TB tiers). This is the same 16 TB tier of the same M10G STORAGE BOX product line as pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box, recorded a second time from a different seed spelling.
- extras:
  - price_verbatim: 16TB: €26.99 -> €1.69/TB/mo (~$1.94). 32TB: €63.99 -> €2.00/TB. 8TB: €14.99 -> €1.87/TB. 4TB: €8.99 -> €2.25/TB
  - duplicate_of: pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box
  - duplicate_note: The same 16 TB tier of one product line. The vendor page read 2026-10-22 lists four tiers under one name, 'M10G STORAGE BOX 4TB / 8TB / 16TB / 32TB', at EUR 8.99 / 14.99 / 26.99 / 63.99, all on the same 500 MB RAM, 10 Gbps, RAID5 platform. There is no second 16 TB SKU and no non-16 TB record of this product. The canonical record is pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box: same product, rung documented rather than reported, and it carries the port limit this record also names.
  - count_note: this record duplicates pulsedmedia-m10g-storage-box; a count over the directory includes the one offer twice
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: 
  - [2] 2026-10-21: M10G seedbox ladder for comparison (2TB 8.99€ ... 12TB 24.99€)

## PulsedMedia Free Seedbox Trial (Helsinki)

- `storage/pulsedmedia-free-seedbox-trial` | trial-only | evidence reported | binding per-ip-shaping | category iaas
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://pulsedmedia.com/free-seedbox.php
- free tier: 50 GiB storage, 250 MB RAM, 200 GiB torrent traffic, 1 Gbps, for 30 days, free. 'Free Seedbox Trial 30 Days — FREE!!!! Free like Free Speech! — 50 GiB Storage'. | unit: GiB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: Retention: 30-day trial only — the binding clause | days: 30 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Included in the 200 GiB torrent traffic allowance; no per-GB charge stated. | metered: yes
- identity: card | detail: inferred from the category 'iaas'; the source record states no identity cost, so this is a class assumption, not evidence
- interface: sftp, ssh, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 1 Gbps [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap: none stated. Request-rate: n/a (SSH). Retention: 30-day trial only — the binding clause. Traffic: 200 GiB/month.
- interface detail: sftp
- tooling: rTorrent + ruTorrent/Deluge/qBittorrent web UI, SSH, SFTP, Docker rootless, Jellyfin media stack, WireGuard/OpenVPN. SFTP is the storage transport — usable by rclone's `sftp` backend.
- composes with: Real but weak: 50 GiB x N accounts, and each trial is 30 days, so the chain has to be re-established monthly. Not a storage tier; a way to test throughput before buying the EUR 1.99/mo 230 GiB plan.
- reliability: Trial-only by construction, and the parallel paid 'M1000 SSD 230G' plan shows 'Available: 0', so capacity is genuinely constrained, not artificially so.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: 50 GiB storage, 250 MB RAM, 200 GiB torrent traffic, 1 Gbps, for 30 days, free. 'Free Seedbox Trial 30 Days — FREE!!!! Free like Free Speech! — 50 GiB Storage'.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:

## PulsedMedia Storage Boxes — 4 TB at €8.99/mo + a genuinely free 50 GiB/30-day box

- `storage/pulsedmedia-storage-boxes-4-tb-at-8-99-mo-a-genuinely-fr` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding per-ip-shaping | category iaas

- url https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php
- free tier: A separate free seedbox lasts 30 days with 50 GiB storage and 200 GiB torrent traffic, one per customer, and showed 'Available: 0'. Storage Boxes are paid (see notes). | unit: GiB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated

- egress: Internet egress is unlimited at 100 Mbps (about 30 TB per month, 1 TB per day) plus 10 Gbps burst of 500 GiB per month; ingress is unlimited at 10 Gbps. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: webdav, sftp, ftp, scp, ssh, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 100 Mbps (about 30 TB per month, 1 TB per day) [1]
- limits note: Free seedbox: 50 GiB storage, terminates after 30 days, 200 GiB torrent traffic, 'Available: 0' at read time. Paid boxes are shaped by internet egress (see limits).
- binding note: internet egress is shaped to 100 Mbps, about 30 TB per month or 1 TB per day, on every Storage Box size
- interface detail: sftp
- tooling: SSH, SCP, SFTP, FTP(S), HTTPS. Docker rootless means you can run rclone or a WebDAV server inside it.
- composes with: The free box is explicitly one-per-customer with a newsletter signup as the price ('Signing up for FREE Seedbox you enroll to marketing newsletter maximum twice per month'; 'Only 1 Seedbox per user!'). Not stackable — the provider says outright that the guardrails exist because 'a free seedbox is catnip for spammers and ratio-cheaters', which in plain terms means the free box attracts users who take more than it is meant for.
- reliability: Own hardware in Finland at two datacenters, Lauttasaari (Helsinki) and Kerava. The free seedbox is rationed to one per customer with limited slots. unverified: tenure of the host.
- notes: Paid Storage Boxes (RAID5 HDD): 4 TB 8.99 EUR per month, 8 TB 14.99 EUR, 16 TB 26.99 EUR, 32 TB 63.99 EUR; a separate free 30-day seedbox exists.
