    When a host offers 1 vCPU core, fair share is still implied right? Thats not a dedicated core for my VM, correct? Maybe dedicated is the wrong word, but i think you all understand my question

    Well 84$ for 0.5TB, is that HA or such?

    Since for 21$ i get 0.5TB from Time4VPS.

    I think it's 1tb of storage on yearly payments.

    Dam, but however 1TB is still cheaper at Time4VPS. I even can buy a 2TB Drive for that.

    You are not comparing like with like.

  • Well if they have time to make a facebook page and sending pop tart, why they have no time to make a reply on the ticket. Almost 2 weeks by now. Creating a facebook page must be really time consuming.

    Well

    1TB vs 1TB Storage

    4TB vs 2TB Bandwidth

    1024MB vs 512MB

    39$ vs 84$

    So I would go with Time4VPS, it's a better deal even your VPS has 512GB Storage and is just double because of a Promo which makes it even worse.

    I am getting things for cheap as possible as long the quality is good, otherwise I will pay more but since Time4VPS offers good quality its okay.

    It's not a fair comparison when only one of them comes with power.

    You need a new repertoire, this one is becoming more like cliché.

  • Time4vps for sure. They get better and better.

  • Hmm for backups I don't think people require such good performance unless their always reading and writing to to box.

    Time4Vps seems like a better choice if its cold backups while delimeter is better if constant read and write is required.

  • CPU on the time4VPS has a clock of 1.9ghz. what are the delimiter boxes running at?

  • I think Time4VPS's storage is slower than the common VPS. I have one with them and pay biennially.

    If you look for cheap (just 1 euro / month for 500 GB biennially) and "acceptable" storage speed, you can choose Time4VPS. But if you need more storage speed, you should choose delimiter :)

  • If you need faster iops, purchase normal vps and mount storage vps there :)

    Soooo much cheaper and they don't bashing another provider.

  • masterqqq said: Hmm for backups I don't think people require such good performance unless their always reading and writing to to box.

    If you are running regular backups or using something like R1Soft then the high performance helps.

    berryboy said: CPU on the time4VPS has a clock of 1.9ghz. what are the delimiter boxes running at?

    2.27Ghz

    tommy said: If you need faster iops, purchase normal vps and mount storage vps there :)

    Which storage VPS would you mount?

  • I think many may have missed this snippet because of the way the OP quoted the email (side scroll issue for me)

    Tons of storage, powered by ZFS and NVMe SSD cached for speed

    Is there anything like a BBU equivalent mechanism on zfs array for power-loss events?

    Is this array zfsonlinux or freebsd zfs?

    If zfs can handle all sorts of bit corruption (including power loss), then this product would be attractive to a particular kind of customer.

    I welcome new products with value-adds like this.

    Isn't this a new launch for Delimiter? Meaning it isn't loaded with clients like Time4VPS which has been offering their plans for a long time. Hard to say what long term speeds will be like, but everything has great speeds before clients start using it.

    What is your RAID or redundancy setup?

  • vimalware said: Is there anything like a BBU equivalent mechanism on zfs array for power-loss events?

    ZFS will write first to the SSD, then copy from the NVMe SSD to the spinning disk. So in ways, the SSD is acting like quasi-write cache.

    vimalware said: Is this array zfsonlinux or freebsd zfs?

    OpenVZ is only supported on Linux, so its Linux. I have personally run ZFS on Solaris and FreeBSD and of course ZFS natively implemented. But having the ZFS 'Goodness' on Linux gives a nice, fast and robust filesystem for the OpenVZ VMs.

  • Seen many providers using ZFS, why not BTRFS? It's opensource and developed by Oracle, FB, and many other big companies as well.

    The box I did that testing on is actually quite loaded with various test VMs running various workbenches.

    Remember the performance here is coming from the PCI connected SSD. By fronting it with a ultrahigh speed read/write cache you quickly alleviate contention on the disks.

    The build we settled on was 10 x 5TB in RAIDZ2 configuration. RAIDZ2 is ZFS's version of RAID6.

    BTRFS isn't as stable as ZFS in my experience.

    There is some general data here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/32cu9w/zfs_vs_btrfs/

  • 5tb drives? I'm definitely out of touch with new launches.

  • More a curiosity than anything, but why 5TB and not 6TB drives?

  • Hadriel said: More a curiosity than anything, but why 5TB and not 6TB drives?

    I believe it came down to performance. 5TB delivered better performance per slot than 6TB.

  • Any migration path from the Cloud Storage VPS?

  • dragon2611 said: Any migration path from the Cloud Storage VPS?

    Different products, one is KVM, one is OpenVZ.

  • Mahfuz_SS_EHLMahfuz_SS_EHL Host Rep, Veteran

    Still They can't beat Time4VPS ;)

  • risharderisharde Patron Provider, Veteran

    The line isnt badly priced per say for what you get but for purely backup purposes, the Tim4vps is cheaper and does the job and I sure dont backup at 1.8 gb per second. Would only consider this if there werent other solutions out there. I am a bit uneasy hearing about the power problems and data loss with the zfs
