Yep, the issue is that people are repeatedly benchmarking disk io on a storage vps’s.

Boss, how could people do benchmarks all the time? The server was slow as hell when I first logged in yesterday , and it is also barely usable today. I did this benchmark only to show you I'm not exaggerating the problem by using the words "absurdly slow". I don't really want to know the I/O speed if I can't feel it is slow.

I can confirm that there was something unusual yesterday late afternoon (EU time) with the US storage server: my Hetrix monitor kept reporting that my storage VPS was unreachable (up, then down, over an extended period of time); in addition, ssh connections were unusually slow. By mid-evening, things had settled down.

What happens when there are storage server sales is that you get a bunch of people transferring a huge amount of data, an extra 4TB in the past 36 hours, on top of that you see a ton of people maxing CPU and generating huge IOPS with ridiculous benchmark scripts that can take an hour to finish on a slow server, longer when the server is being maxed out, everything feeds in to slowing something else down.

Generally, people using it for storage are not impacted, people using a storage server for general use are unsurprisingly impacted and then complain.

I will admit it has been hit particularly hard on this occasion due to the volume of sales but it will settle.

I will end the offer now to prevent any further disruption, give it 24 hours, I am totally uninterested in synthetic benchmarks however if you still can’t use it for storage at that point open a ticket.

Thats what you get benchmarking shared resources. Youre basically just f&#%ing everyone else over.

@Not_Oles "server rent for the current configuration is $29.95 per month" is for the whole server ? (SoYouStart 2 x 2 TB SATA).

Just a super random question, but how did you manage to get this (and only this) translated @AnthonySmith ?

InceptionHosting

@sanvit I did not, I think your browser decided to change that for you:

Chrome/chrom-ish with translation turned on?

hm.. below response is enlightening

InceptionHosting

Right, found the issue.

It is your browser doing it but the reason it only impacts this one is that I accidentally put a space in the summary tag e.g. < summary> instead of <summary> so it showed up as "Details" instead of "Click to expand and reveal offer.

@Clouvider said: Its nothing like an Atom or similar; Enterprise Chassis, E3v5 or newer, DDR4 ECC, random assignment of disk(s) and a little extra bandwidth over standard and at least a 1Gbps port.

What about the disks.....

NVMe, SSD and HDD all available; varying brands, from WD to Intel.

$29.95 per month is what I pay OVH / SoYouStart for each server of this configuration.

Working on a new hardware config to smooth out some of the IO bottlenecks people have been reporting, I suppose it is my fault for kidding myself that people will actually use them for storage

Going to test out adding a caching layer to a storage server and raid 6 over raid 5, if it works out ok in my hammer tests over the weekend I will release this offer again with triple storage on ALL plans to make up for cutting it short.

What? Are you saying storage vps are for storing my files only? I thought it meant hosting a streaming service for all my stored file. Who need netflix anyway.

I will release this offer again with triple storage on ALL plans to make up for cutting it short.

Now I legit regret that I bought one last month.
