  • Looks like a nice deal, how's the performance? PM me if you'd like to test.

  • Here's the benchmark for the 128MB plan, thanks to @connercg. He's submitting the 256 too: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/08/16/xcfoNXmMCpa8jkFL

  • @serverbear you should get a benchmark from the Canada nodes, I'm pushing 300 MB/s on dd.
