RamNode 512MB 6GB SSD 1000GB E3-1230v2s and Samsung 830s Benchmark

First of all, let me thank to @Nick_A at RamNode for giving me a vps for running the Benchmark

Pretty amazing disk IO considering I'm paying $10 quarter :P
-Nick Perkins | Twitter = @nickpperk
what plan is that? (specs etc)
Check my blog for more cool *nix tips & tricks!
256MB RAM
256MB VSwap
1 Core @ 3.2GHz
4GB RAID10 SSD
500GB Bandwidth

I think that fits our mission statement... "More power than you know what to do with at a price you can afford" etc.

So true. I don't know what to do with it!
Its like having too much ketchup packets with my fries!
Add three reboots first month to
We use RamNode VPS servers to provide DNS servers for our own customers and I can vouch that the performance and service is awesome!
Save them, it is inevitable you forget one time.
The Atlanta hardware performs ever better (sorry don't have a 256, just a 1GB):

Yep, we no longer offer new orders on the hardware in question here.

Grabbed a 512KVM and migrated all of my VPS6 sites to it. IT. IS. SO. FREAKING. FAST.
@Nick_A - thanks for the flexibility on disk space by the way!
Another vps review by uncle Erawan.. +1.
Erawan does do some nice reviews. I need to visit his blog more
https://mxroute.blackfriday/
he is not uncle just yet, 20+ of age is not uncle
right Erawan? 
Right

I'm just 26
4 more years=) and i will call you uncle
I was an uncle at 22, so age isn't much of a factor.
Anyway, if this thread is going to stay alive, I think it's time for an updated benchmark... This one is very outdated.

Careful or @Randy will start calling you daddy.

Hi daddy ;-) as requested ;-)

Hehehe... Sorry I was slept last night.
Maybe I will post the benchmark of the KVM SSD 256MB.
I already have several cousin and nephew
One of the best hosts out there!
Amazing support, amazing servers, amazing uptime and stability. Just thought I'd share
where are exactly the servers of this plan located?
That particular VPS was/is in Dallas, but our current offerings are in Atlanta on different hardware (much improved). I only offer Dallas VPSs upon request at this time.

Abusing @Nick_A node yesterday.
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/16/BH8Pam2mtADBJHrT
budingyun, make sure you use a different network card on your KVM! You're only getting 100Mbps! Use the Intel Pro or Virtio card to get 1Gbps. You can set it in SolusVM.
NYC - LA - ATL - SEA - NL - DDoS Protection
@Nick_A I'm already used Virtio network card. Actually i'm getting good speed from my personal test, not sure why serverbear benchmark get lower network speed.
Strange, I'll run a quick test now just to make sure there's nothing wrong at our end.
Getting 112MB/s from Cachefly.

@budingyun - did you reboot after changing cards? Try the Intel Pro?
NYC - LA - ATL - SEA - NL - DDoS Protection
@Nick_A Can you run "wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash" on node 1? I want compare with my result.
Those speeds are more like it.
@ServerBear any ideas?
NYC - LA - ATL - SEA - NL - DDoS Protection
Mind re-running our test & comparing results?
This is what I just got from Dallas:
Gleam - Run kick-ass viral competitions & rewards to grow your userbase. Free until Sept.
Comparing my network benchmark result http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/16/BH8Pam2mtADBJHrT and http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/12/vfN6BhumzwKpp7tG, there's no much different actually except download from cachefly. By the way i'm doing the serverbear benchmark at 3am local time or 3pm USA time (peak time). Maybe that's the reason. I'm installing Centos 6 netinstall and updating it so damn fast with fast mirror disabled. Dallas node got better connectivity though.
Yeah, you definitely have 1Gbps enabled. I should have paid closer attention to all of your results. I was just stunned by the 3.3 MB/s bandwidth benchmark it produced on ServerBear.com. My test on the same plan will finish in a bit. It will probably just confirm that it was a function of the timing of the benchmark.

What time do you run your backups Nick? :P
Gleam - Run kick-ass viral competitions & rewards to grow your userbase. Free until Sept.
Newest benchmark taken from http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/9/17/TPKYLdAL8WP64hsu by @Nick_A himself . Not that different from my result.
Backups on that node from 7PM - 12AM. I wonder if that's what it was.
Weird that it ranges from 8MB to 59MB on the same node, but oh well.
NYC - LA - ATL - SEA - NL - DDoS Protection
@Nick_A Just reminded me. I messaged you but didnt hear back. Are backups on your owned hardware, sent through SSL, and/or stored encrypted? If not, can a VPS opt-out? Thanks
@bdtech I remember that question and I thought I sent a response. I'll PM you.

Most likely ISP problem.
