Not SSD but 10K rpm velociraptors
@Patrick please don't create multiple poorly-disguised accounts just to bring attention to your offer
How is he trying to disguise himself, and what's wrong with linking someone to their own offer if it satisfies the requirements?
Sure, we can do this in Coventry, UK. we've got 20K IOPS and 200MB/s plus sequential.
What are you on about? This is the only account.
@dunks, you most likely don't expect to get this with LEB pricing, correct? This guy know what he's doing: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/6385/uk-allsimple.net-xen-ssd-vps-512mb-at-4.40month/p1
@Patrick he's just messing with you
Looks good, should've mentioned I'd prefer at least 2TB of bandwidth!
I'm currently with Prometeus, so I might op for one of their larger plans, on kvmssd7 at the moment.
@Jack didn't think your UK box has either SAS or SSD?
For UK we have:
2048MB Ram
20GB SAS DiskSpace
1TB Bandwidth
100Mbit Port
1 IPv4
10 IPv6
OpenVZ/SolusVM
$6.95/Month

I ment sas... obviously :P

Go to the last one, you can customize it, up to 4 gb ram, 40 gb ssd, 2 ips.
For a minimum of 1 gb ram, 20 gb ssd, 1 ip, 3 tb and 2 cores is 45 pounds a year (5.88 $ a month), 65 pounds with 2 gb, around 8.5 $ a month.
Yeah 10K drives don't come close to the write speeds, seek times, etc of an SSD
Great! That was a no brainer, read OPs full post before commenting next time.

Get over yourself, new gubbyte.
Your better of upgrading at your current provider if there service has been rock solid rather then going through trouble moving
@dunks
Raptors also have a high failure rate.
I just kinda had to laugh when he said "SSD Preferred" and the first offer was w/ 10K drives, sorry. But I mean they aren't terrible. They're actually pretty decent but I just think they're two separate markets here. I'm actually running a few raptors in my home server.
Yeah kinda
10 k drives full platter are probably meant that way, the producer must go to very expensive ways to mitigate the effects of pushing the mechanics to the limit and only expensive real-enterprise class drives are worth it to produce at such performance and durability.
I don't believe there are many SSD VPS providers in the UK, I could be wrong, but I don't come across them all that often.
Yeah, they're not essential, anything with a decent number of spindles for good IO then that's acceptable.
Newer WD1000DHTZ (1TB) doesn't. Older 600GB etc have bad history yes. Regardless all drives are prone to fail at some point possibly.. RapidSwitch wouldn't go and buy batches if they are prone to fail and land in the bin or wait for replacements.
@Patrick They wait untill they have a few and then RMA them.
I wasn't comparing raptors to any other type of drive. Just stating that the failure rate is high, on any model.
What's your budget?
+1....
No specific budget in mind really, if the price is right!
Have a lot of good offers on the table.
Well I can offer you exactly what you want - i.e. a 2GB SSD VPS in the UK, but it'll cost about £25-40 depending on how much disk space you need.
