@PhilND This has been fixed, I'll email you now.

PhilND

It does seem to have been fixed, now provisioning, I will keep you updated.

PhilND

"Up to 230K IOPS Up to 1900/1700 MB/s read/write speed"

I wonder what happened, you didnt get anywhere near the advertised "up to" numbers.

jhadley

@JoeMerit

Those numbers are theoretical maximums based on manufacturer tests. They're not a suggestion of what a particular VPS can get at a particular time with a particular test.

How about you advertise real world numbers instead of theoretical maximums that are seemingly unachievable.

jhadley

There are already links to Geekbench and Serverbear for those who are interested in those tests.

The IO from Phil's run is much lower than I've seen previously.....

I think he may have been doing something on his server. The numbers I have on one of mine are consistent:

root@shared [~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.47533 s, 434 MB/s

@jhadley Server was a fresh install.

Feel free to email me your login details if you're concerned about this :)

@jhadley

Not concerned, the IO I am getting is fine.
