If you ignore the cloud services and rent dedicated servers you can get up to 6 TB disk space for 50$ a month.

edit: 45tb for 300€/month: https://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/xs29

Unless you don't need any redundancy (cloud has some) that's more likely about 39TB (in RAID50, if controller supports such setup).

If so, that's still less than €8/TB/mo, which is better than most cloud storage providers offers. You also have some spare memory and CPU resources (so you could resell them for others as, for example, memcached instances) and a possibility to get a proper SLA, as a bonus.
