OneProvider SUMMER SALES
I found an email from OneProvider that they are running a summer sales in Paris up to 50%

That is mark up price for Atom C2350..
No, they offer it for 6.99 with no setup fee, while directly from Online it has a 10 EUR setup fee and then 8.99 or 9.99/month: https://www.online.net/en/server-dedicated/start-2-s-sata https://www.online.net/en/server-dedicated/start-2-s-ssd
It is rare to see servers this cheap with SSD. Not that the C2350 can take a huge advantage from it.
meh, "deals".
I had to replace 3 of them for slow write speed, this is why they are so cheap:
dd: sequential write speed
1st run: 39.86 MiB/s
2nd run: 33.86 MiB/s
3rd run: 37.10 MiB/s
average: 36.94 MiB/s
We are talking of SSD disks...The last one I got it is in average 60 MiB/s and then they refused to replace because they stated this speed is normal in this range of servers...
Oh, I remember this issue, but I thought Online solved it via BIOS updates or such.
I wonder what SSD-s they use, because assuming those old BIOS bug was fixed 30-60MB/s write speeds are indeed quite normal for cheap modern consumer-grade SSD-s once small (~1-2Gb usually for 128gb ones) cache is filled.
Nah, that was on HDDs that were affected by vibrating fans. They probably replaced the fans or mounted the hdds with some rubber.
This happening on SSDs makes no sense though.
Glad you reviewed, I was thinking to buy one because of the SSD.
the C2350 is 7€ for ages now, nothing summer deal here (or was it 8?). some of the midranged are actual deal prices.
also they upped the price of the C2750 and the i3 530 by 1€ - can't say anything about the other price tags.
the c2350 is fine for low load stuff - vpn, bouncer, whatever, but the abysmal i/o performance is slowing everything down once it hits some base load. i think they didn't fix the oneprovider servers.
1 gbps unmetered fair usage.....what does that mean, so not unmetered?
Fair usage.. they will limit your connection..
It means secret meter.
OneProvider it's a prank. I wanted to do an experiment yesterday with One of the basic "server deals" (I already know your answers, my best investment was to spend the money for a couple of beers) I had a "Server" with a hard disk of 64000 hours (not going to use ofc). I think i won the jackpot. If those Servers has same new hard disks, i hope you do daily backup
PS I know OneProvider reputation with hard disks from Paleolithic era, i just wanted to see if something has changed better.
Both OneProvider and Kimsufi belong to the "Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust".
What is "Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust"?
"Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust" is a datacenter where old hard disk drives go to die.
Should I support "Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust"?
Yes, if you have old photos of yourself, 70's and 80's porn collections, old tax returns, proofs of political promises, trance music, backups of your instagram feed, you should always support every member of the "Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust".
Should I keep my cyptocoins in a server of a member from the "Hard Disk Drive Preservation Trust"?
Yes. The world is already full of millionaire assholes.
Where do all the drives go after they die?
Humans go to heaven, hard drives go go go go go the cloud (that's the ticking noise of death, and some missing sectors). Whenever you see the word cloud in the internet, think of all the hard drives and their meaningful lives.
I like how Trance Music was added there!
I still got my goa/psy trance
Just an update to the previous comment. I bought a Server in another place after the test at OneProvider and the vision of the Hard Disk from the Paleolithic era. I need to post this because they have been nice. Kudos this time >>
I have no expectations but, maybe, something is changing from their side.
How did you manage? My HDDs throw tons of SMART errors and yet they won't replace them as long as the hardware hasn't exploded.
I can post my initial statement in "Englisccccc" (it's not my primary language). I said:
So? And even if they don't? Whether or not you do a daily backup depends on how important the data is to you, not how new the HDD is. New HDDs fail too.
OFC man. But hard disks from Mesozoic have more chances to fail. FACT > it's math. this does not exclude that backup is your first weapon agains failures. agree 100% (indifferent new or old hdd).
Final Update since you were interested in the situation about hard disks - OneProvider. I've got their response. A synthesis "Datacenter told us your hard disks dont do errors, for this reason we cannot change them". I knew was happening that 99% but you know, sometimes you win jackpot. This time probably not.
don't use them. 3 of my servers are suddenly went to "out of service" -> I have backups but...And today they just reinstalled a perfectly fine, working server so I lost all my data (I still have backups).
