    Appliance storage with 512MB RAM :

    QNAP TS-220 8TB 2 x 4TB WD Red drives, Marvell 1.6GHz, 512MB DDR3 RAM , USB 3.0, Single Disk, JBOD, RAID 0/1

    Nice!

    What do you mean "Nice!"? That's very far from what you recommend.

    It's a nice setup, No two environments are the same. Everyone builds and host their environments differently and cost can vary depending on where they get their hardware etc. I mean running FreeBSD vm's you can get away with 512MB ram and 1TB storage. You do know that these are all a matter of opinion and not set in stone. If someone wants a cheap vm they get what they pay for and so on.

    There are a lot of articles out there if you look it up and do some reading. This is just one article that I found. With all of my time running XenServer and VMware this has been the rule of thumb I've set and lived by.
    https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/1.0/ece-manage-node-configurations.html

    That seems to be more product-specific advice than generic advice. Many people run generic Linux storage servers just fine without following such product-specific advice.

    You're new on LET, but as I said, no low-end storage provider will able to meet that ratio without losing their very livelihood (or raising their prices drastically).

    That isn't true, Just because those requirements seem high you can easily support say 4GB of ram for 4TB storage for $18.99/mo. Take for example you build your host with (Example)
    Dell R820's - Quad Octa-core proc's, 512GB ram and 6 x 500GB SSD on RAID6
    Ceph cluster - Dell R720XD's with 64GB RAM and 16 x 5TB SATA (RAID 10) or use SSD's

    Now you have a clean build environment that can support you and your clients and still keep your cost way down.

    I think that we're talking past each other (or I'm missing something), so I should stop ...

    Above, you said that one should have 1GB RAM for every 100GB of storage, but now you give an example of 4GB RAM for 4TB of storage.

    My original point (which you haven't refuted) was that if low-end storage providers offered 1GB RAM for every 100GB of storage, they would either go out of business or need to raise prices drastically.

    I think you like to argue, and all I am doing is providing my opinion. If someone doesn't want to follow that model which obviously a lot of people don't then they shouldn't. It's all up to how they want to run their business. We should always consider our pricing and how much we can afford. I am not saying anyone should follow what I suggest to the tee but at least consider some kind of clean ratio.

    Listen, sure, we all agree that no two environments are the same and that it all depends on the intended use, etc. There's no special need to say this.

    But this isn't how you came across in your first three posts above when you wrote comments such as:

    You should consider using 1GB of RAM for every 100GB of storage it's a good rule of thumb. Also, providers should consider this as well.

    Example:
    8GB RAM - 800GB Storage

    This is the same rule of thumb for a physical server.

    I pressed you on the origin of this "rule of thumb", but you appear to have backed down since and now say that no two environments are the same (sure, no doubt).

    Holy buckets, I think you should seriously take a chill pill. You seem to be getting salty over something so simple. If you don't agree then don't follow it. It's my two cents and a period. I see that you feel the need to have the last word so go ahead and say something back snazzy and that'll be it. I will not respond but you will have won. Have a good day.

    I'm fine.

    In interaction, I simply try to take the other person's statements/pronouncements seriously, at least initially. Your opening statement/pronouncement about RAM/storage was new to me, so I just wanted to understand its origin. When asked/pressed about it, you ended up saying (after a few rounds of comments) that it's just your personal opinion, which is fine, but it didn't sound like (wasn't phrased as) "just a personal opinion" at the outset -- this is all.

    If I sounded "salty", it was due to my impression that you kept moving the goalposts. I have no problem with personal opinions if they're clearly designated as such.

  • Well, Mr. bsdfire didn't last very long: 18 posts and he's banned. I guess that it was for spamming in another thread (perhaps ban evasion as well). Good riddance.

  • Wait what? 1GB of ram per 100GB of disk? Huh? What did I miss

    You didn't miss anything! There's nothing worth talking about in this connection. Anyway, @bsdfire is now banned.

    If you run ZFS the rule of thumb is 1 GB RAM per 1 TB disk. Perhaps he got confused with that?

    ZFS is disk caching, of course need big ram for pool, index, meta etc.

    I don't think so (for a number of reasons).

  • have been using @cociu for storage servers and personal vpn. Other than support tickets services are good :smile:

    They have a great improvement in tickets recently due to new members.

    hello, you can visit https://hostsolutions.ro/eng/hosting/kvm-storage , and using the cupon code "FRE85XOP86" will do 50% off recurring for life .

    Edit : this is kvm not ovz7 , sorry i just see your requirements

    No option for OVZ7?

    Why currency dose does not have $USD?

    @dimqua said:
    Why do you need 2gb RAM for storage? Just curious.

    It's the minimum ram to do basic stuff I am doing, basic processing, which anything you do like zip file compress and uncompress faster, which is very basic actually, and just in case some software requirements are the basic 2GB RAM, otherwise, everything will be very slow.

    If you want high storage decent ram probably watch for offers from letbox. currently closest to your budget would be yearly (5$/month) @ 1tb storage w 2gb ram https://letbox.com/page/promo

    Thanks, I do not want NVMe or SSD hard drive just basic hard drive would do to me,> @bsdfire said:

    Yes, there are certain limitations when connecting large storage on the backend of a VM. Plus keeping in mind the 1GB RAM to 100GB Storage ratio. So looking at the performance this is what I would keep in mind.

    Yes, totally agreed if so I would need 200GB Storage as well with the 2GB RAM.

    A bit short on ram for your budget, but a good OVZ7 option if that's what you're after

    price is a bit high, but thanks.> @seriesn said:

    Huh?

    You should consider using 1GB of RAM for every 100GB of storage it's a good rule of thumb. Also, providers should consider this as well.

    Example:
    8GB RAM - 800GB Storage

    This is the same rule of thumb for a physical server.

    Honestly though, that is a super broad statement, due to many variables. But I see where you are coming from :)

    Yes you are correct that its pretty broad but in the primary focus of usage it's a good rule of thumb and those being super cheap and asking for 1GB ram and 1TB of storage shouldn't be hosted. I'm surprised hosting providers actually offer this. It's a bit risky.

    Well my good friend, usually, when you just need a place to store your files and backup your data, memory need is, super low :)

    Yes, as a backup server, I do require at least 2GB or 3GB to have some basic processing done fast.
