Wow they must have gotten these disks from eBay!
Or perhaps from the many, many servers they have had racked for a few years.
Awesome. I think it worked...
for CA - BHS - Ipv4 and IPv6 - Send = 100/ Receive = 1000
Yes, it is.
Still gigabit.
well, thanks, you are lucky
seems the early birds are all got 1G...
oh heck yes! Just placed an order - waiting for delivery - I'm surprised this was even still available since I'm so late on the ordering!
Update: Got it like 1 minute after paying! Prepping it!
Update: Smart shows me power on hours of /dev/sda as 28218 - not so bad compared to others
/dev/sdb is 27328 - not bad as well!
Update: Confirming upload is 100 Mbit / sec and download is 1 Gbit / sec
I already swore to myself I wouldn't get any servers for Black Friday, yet here I am. It's not even Black Friday yet
Didn't we all
i need this but with ssds not hdds
You ain't going to get 4TB of SSD with 14.99€, no fucking way.
The only reason why this is so cheap, it was likely a SYS before with disks.
They just had it in the rack and are reselling it on Kimsufi now.
i mean 2x250gb ssd instead of 2x2tb hdd
This is around 2.5 years, which isn't so dramatic.
This is over 5.5 years, which is a little dramatic.
Currently at 31817 & 42849. The second call to sdb definitely takes a bit longer too, although no errors shown (yet...)
Don't complain about the disks, Hitachi are good ones, they will last for much longer than this. I have a few running right now with 69, 73, 76, 79 and 87k hours in a server at home. Each has 5-10 reallocated sectors, but they do not grow further. And besides, that the disks are not brand-new is perhaps one of the main reasons how this can be so cheap. So asking for new disks at the same price feels a little selfish. "Hi OVH, please lose money on me".
Well, the dramatic moment comes up, when you did trust in Raid 1 and you hit your first disk failure.
Most of the disk age seem to be similar with a few exceptions.
You think you are safe, the technican replaces the broken disk and you resync the raid.
Yeh the resync of the raid will fubar the 2nd disk
Just go RAID 0, balls to the wall. It’s only a shitbox, right?
That's what I was going to do, that's what backups are for. Remember kids, RAID is not a backup!
This guy gets it.
would it be a good idea to host a big vbulletin forum on this server? it has a lot of ram so almost all the database will fit in ram
actually the big forum is on a server with ssds and also 32gb of ram
Get the SYS deal instead.
Pretty good deal for the price. There wasn't a good deal like this in years at Kimsufi.
Got mine in France
RBX6
DC here are the test results.Benchmark:
HDD health:
your lucky with disk hours.
be very happy and glad
I don't understand why you complain...
Even with only one 2Tb drive, 15€/m is a very good deal
I checked on internet and this solution was called SP-64 but here you have 32Gb RAM. OVH was renting this server 81€/m!
Thank you LET for this catch
42k hours on both disks should be fine. Might hand it down to my kids some day.
Does anyone know if this CPU performs well at transcoding (Plex)?
If this was 1 GBps up/down, I'd buy in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I got a KS-3 for 5.99 monthly for my linux ISOs and it already serves me well. Great deal though!
Are you still able to use the whole /64 IPv6 via ndppd?
Very tempting!
