Ok, I have, LT DEALS 1701.1, cpu is e3-1270v3 as advertised, disks are Seagate Constellation ES.3 / ST1000NM0033 with around 19000 hours on each one (not exactly the same, hmm). It's set up with MD raid1 without my having to do anything. I'm not sure how to interpret the SMART stats but it looks like both drives might have more ECC recovered sectors than is great. I guess I'll leave it as raid-1 until I need more space.

I got confused about the invoice: I don't appear to have been charged any VAT despite it saying 20%. I only got charged for the rest of this month.

Interestingly, apt-get update does nothing. It looks like they installed from a local mirror that's kept up to date.

Kernel is 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 (2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

20x LT DEALS 1701.3 Intel Xeon E3 1230v2 16 GB 2 x 1 TB
ordered,
limit is 20 servers per company/person.
Today you can cancel old servers. If u see error, contact support and they do that.

damn i would kill for one of the 1TB ones bit late to the party

willie · January 2017

Trazx do you mean the atoms? Worst case is you can get one for 8.99euro with a 20euro setup fee. Not worth killing anyone over that little difference. If you just want a tb of storage you can get it quite a bit cheaper even.

It looks like the difference between MD and LT is that MD is customizeable. The MD I see has 2TB disks and costs 10 euro more. I held back on the extra expenditure.

I notice the promo order pages don't specify whether the memory is ECC. Anyone know if there's a way to tell?

The next one is only 3 EUR more for 2x RAM and a better CPU. Seems like a strange choice.

itgods · January 2017

Had a call with them. Yes, you can order failover IPs without the premium support crap.

Exactly I didn't even notice the CPU difference until you just mentioned it but for 20 euros the 32gb if far better value. Glad it's still a fast delivery.

Lol. I don't think people noticed that it said v2 and v3.

willie · January 2017

I noticed the cpu difference before the ram difference. I went for the v3. Arkoso, you ordered 20 servers? :O

willie · January 2017

Maybe I should order another of these, then migrate my Hetzner.

arkoso · January 2017

Yeah, but 20x 3 euro = 60euro in month
I dont need 32gb ram

_Nic · January 2017

I got 160 ssd now.
And 160 earlier. Also I got 2x2620v2 128gb 2x500ssd

willie · January 2017

1701.4 2x2620v2 128gb 2x500ssd at 85 euro/month is tempting. But nooo....

How often do they do these promos? Maybe I'll get something like that next time.

A little bit tempted by the 7 euro 120gb SSD Atom but resisting. Can always spin up a Scaleway if I need one of those for something. No need to have it running all the time without a steady use.

Hey, I know they increase the limit for each month of loyalty. Is 20 the final limit?

Wicked · January 2017

My server has been stuck on "Start dedibox" on installation. I guess it's a broken server, been waiting 40 minutes.

The normal 9€ atoms are c2350's, here they are/were c2750. So better price+ better cpu.

boernd · January 2017

Do they have guaranteed bandwidth?

Hmm yeah. Still don't know what to do even with a c2750. If you get the ssd one you might be able to still get the 750gb ftp backup space for 5 euro, so you could store cold stuff there and serve live stuff from ssd.

Its basically the perfect seedbox for me. The c2750 is strong enough for the occasional plex transcode. +1tb space is what I wanted.

Nope...
"Transfer is unlimited. There is no transfer limit but there is no guaranteed bandwidth either."

It should be the way you partition your disk. I faced the same issue some months ago and their support said you should partition the disk that "resembles" the default. "Resembles" means different size but the same partition layout.

Oh well. You can add NAS storage for 10 eur/TB but that's more than you wanted to pay.

I dont need an SSD in my seedbox, Im not hosting anything time sensitive. And I dont need more than 1TB.

willie · January 2017

Yes! dmidecode -t 17 figures out the memory type. I have 4x Hynix/Hyundai 8192MB ECC modules, 1600 mhz. Cool!

If nothing is time sensitive maybe you can serve from the FTP storage. There are ways of mounting ftp as a file system. I have no idea how slow it is though.

I'm twitching to order the SSD version but really I should resist.

Yeah I agree the HDD Atom would have been perfect for your seedbox. Oh well.

thanks very much for clarifying... that quota +15 failover IP point with their support levels got me totally confused, 2 € per ip is much already...

gladly I actually can't think of any use that doesn't involve multiple IPs per server, so I hopefully can keep up resisting till they are sold out.

yet an E3 /w 32 GB for 20€ is tempting though ;-)
