US west coast storage KVM request

codedivine

Looking for a storage KVM with 250gb or more on US west side. Preferably 1GB ram. Budget $5/month.

WSS

You forgot to mention how much network overhead you expected to use.

codedivine

Thanks @WSS for pointing that out. Monthly allocation of 1TB bandwidth will be good enough. If I can upload/download at 5 MB/s (40 mbps) pretty consistently that will be good enough.

I'm not sure if @Cam or @Mikho have anything on the west coast. All that comes to mind is DediCenter's Shark XXL plan, and I haven't been the most happy with their saturated network.

Hey,
We've got a 500 GB HDD plan at Los Angeles, CA

https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/132202/crowncloud-500-gb-kvm-storage-at-los-angeles-ca-5-month-or-25-semi-annually

or a 512 MB RAM / 250 GB HDD plan at $25/year https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=318

Only location I can offer right now is Lenoir.

It is cheese cheap .... if that is of interest.

@SpeedBus Would have liked more RAM but I will try it out. Is there a trial period during which I can get refunds if I am not satisfied?

@mikho: Thank you but NC might not work out for me. I already have some storage on east side (Tampa and Dallas).

Sure, can do

Are we talking brand name cheddar cheese or refurbished second-hand string cheese that's been melted and re-made from the leftover scraps of knockoff unbranded string cheese from a local gradeschool?

BTW I finally went with @speedbus 500GB offering, kept RAM at 512. I can post some benchmarks if interested.

@codedivine - I'd be interested to see benchmarks - seems like a solid system.

@codedivine - thanks, looks good!

Throughput from San Jose is in line with what I was seeing when I loaded up 500 GB a few days ago.
