It's dedicated to you so not like there's going to be any noisy neighbors. How much I/O are you expecting to be pushing on this volatile storage?
@MarkTurner @mikeyur
Somewhere around 150MB/s ~ 200MB/s?
They're pretty open about delimiter but silent about their parent company. Yomura. But it's a well known practice for many companies.
Parent brand doesn't show any presence on their child brands. Most cases b2b only parent company while b2c children company.
However they provide a great service for the price tag.
Agreed with the price tag, you can't have everything with LEB budget..
No need to get into the detail, just compare the information available on these sites, just saying.... don't want to attract fire from the "D-gang"

Yomura = Delimiter.
Its like trying to claim Alphabet is the parent company of Google.. You can try to argue it all you want but its the same damn company.
Wasn't saying they are hiding the info for their mother company. Just can't get any details about their data center and facility easier..
I've got one of the Delimiter servers with 2x 500GB drives. I've got them setup as 2 separate drives (no raid). They are 2.5" 5400rpm drives.
@david_w
There are a few people here who hate delimiter for one reason or another.
Personally with my slot hosting things have worked well, had some bumps and a good chunk of downtime recently. Otherwise, they work great.
Thanks for the info, but but 5400rpm sounds a bit slow...
May be I better get the SSD version...
If you're looking for better I/O then definitely go with the SSD model.
@mikeyur: Hi Mike, can you throw me a test IP?
PM sent.
Got it, thanks!
i can confir , good services and @MarkTurner is a verry helpfull guy.
Have a box kicking around with an SSD:
Nice, IO meet my requirement. However I have ~90G of data hanging around so need to find a way to git rid of some.
Can you estimate how fast 2x500G RAID0 can go by chance?
Probably 80-90% of typical for those drives, so.. 150MB/s ish on a standard dd test with 64k blocks. It really depends what you're planning to do though, block size, how much read action is happening with the writes, etc. Nothing's going to beat the SSD IOPS-wise, if you're looking for steady performance then I'd say go with the SSD.
That's too much for 2.5" 5400 RPM Drives. I get 143 MBPS with 7200 RPM 64MB Cache Drives at Hetzner.

Ha! The full beauty of LET logic. This is truly a wonderful place...
So 2x500G 5400rpm SATA in RAID0 with 150MB/s sequential read/write still expecting too much?
You're not expecting too much. The fact is that I also expected like this earlier but Practically My Expectatiom got changed because I saw numerous speed change for HDD's Buffer Size & Rotation Speed Change. @david_w
what?
Thanks for pointing out all other variables may effected rotating disk speed. I don't have much experience on SATA raid in the server environment.
I am also hoping those NVMe SSD will last long enough to fit in LET budget one day, just have chance to test one and it gave me 800MB/s shocking result.. xD
Some times LET logic works pretty good @Amitz. I am posting again to review most of the Delimiter drama.
Received my very first rack mounted server yesterday, right within the 3 day delivery time frame.
Order support was meh, but @mikeyur LET support desk has been very helpful.
Tech support is awesome and efficient, got issue with one of the memory sticks. Submitted a ticket with details, Brian said they will get it replaced asap without any further question. Within 24Hrs the issue has been resolved and RAM has been bumped up from 16G to 24G!
In additional to extra RAM, the almost brand new Evo 850 also surprised me. Going to keep it unless there will be another event xD

Brian gave you Tuesday timeframe, but it took until Wednesday to get the SSD units up.
We sold out of pre-racked SSD units over the weekend so it stretched the delivery time out while we got more up.
Was a correctable error it seems, so not a huge rush to replace, but obviously we don't want to give you sub-par ram. Glad it got fixed
Enjoy the server!
48 of those 155 hours were the system burn in
Still really confused about every use of the word "drama" in this thread.
OP did not deliver.
Drama was referring to all the discussion/stories related to Delimiter on LET and WHT I ever read through.
Another nice SSD wasted on SATA2, bummer
