Online.net Dedibox XC 2016 BIOS Bug?

    Well I'm just trying to double check everything and making sure I'm not loosing on performance due to a small bug/mistake.

    On the online.net forum post https://forum.online.net/index.php?/topic/5846-question-sur-les-ssd/
    you see people are talking about their speeds near to
    hdparm - Tt / dev / sda / Dev / sda : Timing cached reads : 3390 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1694.99 MB / sec Timing buffered disk reads : 1222 MB in 3.00 seconds = 406.71 MB / sec & / Dev / sda : Timing cached reads : 34210 MB in 2.00 seconds = 17123.12 MB ​​/ sec Timing buffered disk reads : 1416 MB in 3.00 seconds = 471.54 MB / sec
    I raised them a ticket and the Level 2 Tech booted my server in rescue mode and reverts that I'm not affected by the bug and My disk is performing as it should. He also runs hdparm & what I get is half the speed as compared to that forum post

    hdparm -Tt /dev/sda && dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sda2/tmp/test.data bs=1M count=1000 conv=fdatasync /dev/sda:

    Timing cached reads: 3612 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1806.10 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 806 MB in 3.01 seconds = 268.12 MB/sec 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1,0 GB) copied, 5,85154 s, 179 MB/s

    Support Rep says Your server does not have any speed issue

    At the end of that forum a user is mentioning Sata II vs Sata III So I am just double checking if we can have Full SATA-III capability on my SSD and so I can benefit from full speed of the disk.

    So nothing has been made since March. Their custom boards are able to deliver full SATA III speeds but due to the BIOS bug we are stuck on SATA II. Very poor ;(

    Please note some of the 2015 model had Intel DC S3500 160 GB drives which are also SATA III capable, but since they were made by DELL they were also locked on SATA II. Intel 320 120 GB was also running with SATA II speeds. Only Samsung PM871 in the latest 2015 models were able to run on full SATA III speeds.

    I wish they offer some limited edition with SSD's up to 20 Euro, then I'm switching right away.

    I have two Dedibox XC in DC2, and the download speed from both is extremely slow since a few days.

    Am I the only one with this problem?
    Speed from ping.online.net is fine.

    The funny thing is, the download speed from my Dedibox Classic is fine, routing is different (not using cogent).

    Guess I have to open a ticket.

    That guy actually replaced a completely perfect 240 GB SATA II drive with a new 120 GB SATA III drive ;) I wish I got one of these.

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    Just got the AMS location, despite different RAM vendor Micron vs Samsung, there is also another difference in BIOS version:

    in France there was:

    Version: 00.00.00.0007
Release Date: 03/04/2016

    in Holland there is a bit newer:

    Version: 00.00.00.0011
Release Date: 03/29/2016

    sadly still the same SATA speed.

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    Just noticed a bit different drive model and it seems it's a PM871a which has 520MB/s write speeds instead of 280MB/s which PM871 has, but we won't benefit anything from this until they fix that bug.

    Look for similar specs, and pray
