I often need to kick the living shit out of my cores and I want yo be able to do it with impunity and not worry about being a bad neighbour. I also have some trust issues.
I've got a dedi with 4x2tb which would give you 6tb with RAID5 (I better prepared for the lynching for suggesting RAID5 these days I know) but unfortunately it's sat in my garage not a DC.
1gbps (shared)
I‘m missing terrahost dedis
You don't trust me? I feel betrayed.
where is @letbox ?
RAID 5 is fine, it gives you a fighting chance of recovery at least, better than going balls-to-the-wall with RAID0. I've always got a backup elsewhere the important stuff anyway.
Don't worry about garage hosting, BuyVM used to host out of a basement and no-one noticed.
I don't trust anyone, don't take it personally.
It's not so much the location but the 60/20mbps line that I think people would soon notice lol.
Need more offers!
How much it would be, I am very interested. Thank you!
Fair play.
I'll be saying good by to 80/20 soon moving over to 1000/220 can't wait.
Yeah I've tried uploading ~6tb in one "hit" to sync some things and it's painful.
Virgin or someone better?
1gbps where you are? Your copper aint gunna like that
OR fibre so none of that shitty Virgin crap.
The Hetzner auction things aren't BF deals. The drives may be old and well used (quick check on mine: power on time of 5.3Y, 5.2Y, 2.6Y, no signs of health concerns other than age, I've had the machine ~2Y).
Yep. Using soft R1 on there, but the important stuff (backups) is also held on a second location too in case I get a two-drive-fail, whole-machine-dead, or DC-up-in-smoke situation the rest is replaceable (a couple of VMs running things, which are themselves backed up in two elsewheres).
No it ain't, need some glass
If they are working drives, what is the issue then? Surely if there are no errors, there is no issue.
I am curious, because we keep the tolerance generally at: SMART errors, are high number of reallocated/unrecoverable offline sectors.
That criteria has served us quite well, and we've never heard of a complaint. Then again, we generally also test all drives extensively between provisionings.
No there are errors, but the drive hasn't actually failed yet.
Sounds to me like you are going for SMART criteria which is not exactly indicative of pending failure? Backups are for this reason, it is extremely difficult to predict drive failures. I was just yesterday refreshing my memory of this doing some maths on the subject (failure rate of 4xHDD RAID0 vs 12xHDD RAID5) and re-read Google's research paper of how they as well failed to predict failures.

I've got that on a Hetzner box. The drives hit just over 78k hours and reset back to 0 which makes it even worse for trying to get replacement lol. They still work though.
@Mr_Tom come on. $12/year. Let's make it happen. We talked about it on IRC.
out of my budget
And like I said on IRC, not likely to happen.
