Unbeatable Ramnode - So Much Happy :)

Just upgraded one of our 4 months old 128MB SSD VPS to 512MB SSD-Cached, and totally blown away by the IO :)

dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -rf iotest
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.00473 s, 1.1 GB/s

Prompt Support and Quality Service - Just unbeatable at this price (120GB Disk, 2CPU Core, 512MB Ram at $4.35/mo)

In case you want to get one, signup at http://ramnode.com

    It's an affiliate link btw. Just pick the SSD Cached, 512 MB and use the coupon "SOMUCHLOVE" for 42% recurring discount.

    My one is in Seattle :)

    Just checked in one of our 5 months old SSD-Cached 128MB vps and it is still 600MB-700MB:)

    And pls note that it's not even pure SSD. In pure SSD nodes, it is more like ~1.3GB/s

    I upgraded a 256MB to 512MB SSD-Cached KVM yesterday and I'm seeing the same result, very very happy.

    I'm on NLCKVME5-2

    dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -rf iotest 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 0.994792 s, 1.1 GB/s

    It's my first RamNode VPS and I couldn't be happier with it.

    From my just under 1 year old Atlanta plan, running Munin and monitoring 15+ servers:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -rf iotest

    16384+0 records in

    16384+0 records out

    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.62247 s, 662 MB/s

    I don't normally keep any VPS longer than 1 year, but I'm pretty sure I'm hanging onto this one.

  • VPNVPN Member

    Just did the same on an OVH VPS I still have from late last year. Was taking a very long time so I stopped it and after around 120 seconds, it had copied 557MB and a rate of 4.5MB/s - epic fail.

    I'm getting ~200 MB/s on both of mine - still very happy with them as they out perform most others I have, just must be a bit more full. :)

    This is from my OVH dedi, the server's largely idle:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -rf iotest

    16384+0 records in

  • VPNVPN Member

    Yeah I only managed about 160MB/s on our SoYouStart dedi.

    Impressive SSD cached benchmarks.

    I have been with them almost a year and have never filled out a support ticket.
    RamNode always gets my vote in the quarterly poll. Just a great provider.

    Same here, loving the vpses from RamNode. @Nick_A has really done a great on this one

  • Nick_ANick_A Member, Top Host, Host Rep

    Wow, thanks guys. I'm extremely grateful for your positive words :)

    @iKeyZ - you might be on one of the new SVZ nodes that needs a firmware update. We have already done ATL and NL, with SEA left to do shortly. Send in a ticket, though, if you want us to take a look. Even fully loaded nodes are faster than that, so I'm guessing your node just needs that update.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    I recently moved multiple servers to RamNode and so far, the servers are blazing fast, support has been stellar, and now I realize I should have found this provider sooner! Certainly going to get my vote for Best Providers next time around.

  • JupiterJupiter Member

    Whats the Raid 10 configuration of these servers?

    @Nick_A - I'm getting 200-300 MB/s on the NL nodes NLCVZE5-2 & NLCVZE5-3

  • FritzFritz Veteran

    Finally, a good provider with positive feedback.

    I love your SSD Cached :)

    Gotcha. That's not unusual on those, but we will take a look if you send in a ticket.

    Thanks again guys, really appreciate it.

    any new offers coming soon?

  • MassNodesMassNodes Member

    I find ramnode's network to be the most impressive part.

    why send in a ticket ? you already read the issue here and replied about it, why not just correct it ?

    It's not really an issue, 200+ MB/s is quite a bit faster than I would expect to get.
