Took me a while to understand, I was first like "there is no IPv4 at all I guess", then I've checked Test IP
Marketing this is beyond my understanding, but this is 'new' here I guess, maybe someone will bite.
Just for the IP
I want to get one. But, do you offer any small package ?
do you have any short IP without sonicfast on it? on akamai I get weird .it geo, possible to get a zare one?
Smaller + KVM would be interesting!
Yes, definitely KVM at least.
So nobody like OpenVZ huh?
NVMe is an interface standard for accessing non-volatile memory.
SSD is solid-state memory (memory with no moving parts that does not need constant refresh to keep current state).
While I can't think of much else you'd have attached via NVMe (battery backed RAM if you don't count that as solid-state because the RAM on its own is volatile?) saying "NVMe SSD" is not entirely tautologous, and certainly isn't contradictory.
Some NVMe SSD devices (slower ones generally) use exactly the same internal chipset and memory as their SATA equivalents, differing only in the interface electronics.
(it would be helpful if hosts were more specific when they say "SSD" and state "SATA SSD" which is what they invariably mean)
See, its much simpler.
So what is it? Until not declared, its schrödinger.
SSD is the type of the drive, and NVMe is the interface to the drive.
NVMe is just an interface, like USB or SATA, but much faster.
I don't think that's right.
If he had said M.2 / U.2 SSD it would indeed be ambiguous. NVMe isn't.
Absolutely, NVMe is the protocol like AHCI.
SSDs are sold as SSDs.
NVMe are getting sold as NVMe, it dosen't matter what connector they have, they just getting labeled as NVMe.
Most of the hosts here won't specify this either, my entire point was, its unclear what you buy here.
The people it is unclear to, are not the people who lack understanding. To quote someone's reaction above:
Of course there could be other variables that we have to make assumptions about due to lack of info in the posting:
Correct.
As you say, if a provider simply advertises "SSD", then it's very probably SATA SSD (= SSD via a SATA interface).
If the interface is NVMe, then this is an important detail that is worth highlighting, and so a provider will advertise "NVMe" (but it would be correct to write "NVMe SSD" as well).
I would merely add that there is also SAS SSD (= SSD via an SAS inferface), which is generally more performant than SATA SSD. I don't think that many providers offer SAS SSD, but if they do, it's worth highlighting.
(I believe that netcup use SAS SSD -- their SSDs are very performant. PHP-Friends also offered SAS SSD on some of their previous generation of VPSes.)
Technically its correct yes, but that was not my point.
Because of the marketing, people tend to use NVMe SSD for everything from SSD to NVMe and in between.
My point still stands, you don't know what you buy here.
We do have a smaller KVM plan for 2€/m you get 512MB ram, 1 Core and 5GB SSD NVMe.
If you specify in the order notes that you want the small IP, I will arrange you a 2.56.8.x
There is no "NVMe to SSD" nor "in between". I'll not repeat the explanation.
Show me real live examples of hosts saying "NVMe SSD" when they mean anything other than one or more SSDs connected to their host via NVMe, and I'll consider looking at your point with less incredulity.
No, it doesn't, IMO.
Ah, yes. I often forget about SAS as it is far less common in my experience. IIRC it is more common as a standard in network storage arrays, partly because it better supports hot-swap.
It does. It's like the host not understanding the difference between VDS and VPS.
Some say it's a VPS/VDS, what they usually mean in reality is that it's shared but you can blast it 100% 24/7, but you will most likely experience some steal.
Now once again hosts don't understand the difference between NVMe and M.2 SSD, they just call both NVMe SSD, but real NVMe runs on a PCIe lane, and a M.2 SSD runs on SATA. SATA is significantly slower than PCIe thus resulting in way slower speeds.
@Mario-SF the OS templates you have on offer are... a little ancient
As requested above: please cite examples of hosts that do that, which don't look utterly sketchy for 101 other reasons too? Otherwise I'm calling that made up and claiming to be right because technically right is the best sort of right: NVMe is an interface standard, SSD is a drive type, there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling something an "NVMe SSD" to differentiate between it and a SATA SSD or SAS SSD or USB-hosted SSD.
Actually that last one is a chance to be deceptive, there are USB hosted NVMe adaptors so you could technically have an NVMe SSD hosted on a USB2 bus... Though I doubt anyone has tried!
Coming soon: EOL'ed OS template Hall of Shame
nice price
Infact we call it NVMe SSD, and runs on PCIe Gen3 with around 3GB/s speeds.
