Help evaluating a Hertzner auction VPS
Hello dear LowEndTalk, I just rented a Hertzner auction server, I heard roumers swirling that dedicated was better than VPS (dedicated cores among other things)
Hertzner has a 14 day money back guarantee on their auction servers, I've run some tests but see that I'm not very good at interpreting them. SmartCTL also returned som "Pre-fail" values for the SSDs. The sytem runs two Hertzner datacenter SSDs, I'm thinking of setting them up in RAID 1 (and of course external back up). We pay 41 EUR a month for this box.

The drives are perfectly fine.
Wearout lost under 20% on both disks within their lifetime until now, they're perfectly fine.
A failed disk would get replaced by Hetzner within 1 hour
after they receive the information.
No reason to cancel btw
Thank you, I think I've found my new host in Hertzner now.
Please note that your new host is Hetzner, not Hertzner.
