To be fair where did you get your pricing for OVH? Because imo it looks a bit too much. The notes are correct but OVH's website gives me for the classic volume on the american version USD 0.055/gb/m and the european version EUR 0.04/gb/m excl vat. Apart from that great job though!
Just ordered. @Francisco, your logo isnt showing on invoices in mobile at least tho

What do you mean darkside?
Edited - because I can't read and MikePT corrected me.
200 IOPS guaranteed. Not 2,000. Then they have the up to 3,000 IOPS plan. Wouldnt be fair to compare with their 200 IOPS plan since Fran's Slabs can do 10k IOPS very easy.
Thanks for the correction - didn't notice the one less zero for the IOPS on the OVH page...
Ah you compared the high speed volume plan that makes sense and indeed as @MikePT mentioned it wouldn't be fair to compare yours against the classic plan. And this is the site I get when I choose USA on the main ovh site seems that it is even more expensive. https://us.ovhcloud.com/products/public-cloud/block-storage-additional-drives
That is not reasonable-- slabs are a great product but let's not exaggerate. They have caching but they are still HDD storage and there is no 10k iops to be had from them (at least to any single VM) if the access pattern is random. It's best to compare with OVH's HDD product which is also ridiculously expensive compared to slabs. In OVH's favor OVH also has various other storage products including dedicated servers with HDD's, so even their HDD add-on cloud storage is one of the less favorable comparisons one can make.
Digital Ocean also has block storage at $0.10/GB (20x slab pricing) though it's pure SSD, and Vultr's also appears to be SSD. Vultr also has storage VPS with HDD (still on the expensive side, but less so than SSD) in some locations, or at least they did at one point.
Overall I find the pricing comparison chart somewhat bogus and not all that helpful.
Why is this pinned in the Offers section?
no one pinned it
somehow it's always on top, because people keep add new post here
That doesn't cut it. Don't offer threads stay sunk after a few days even with new responses?
@corbpie
As I remember I unsunk the Hetzner Cloud thread because there was a lot of community interest in it that went on for a while, people asking questions, etc. (Edit: actually I'm not sure whether that was me as it was a while ago, but same idea). It was a category changing product. This was similar. It can probably be sunk now though.
Alright thanks guys, as long as no one took cash under the table.
Lastest test, inbound is not CN2 anymore.
However to be straight this is the new "LET model". Just need to know whom to buy service from. But I digress as this Off topic.
Should be fixed up.
Had some DDOS issues (welcoming comity from the other GIA brands I guess), but things transitioned back this morning.

I would love to see this whole BuyVM offer on Black Friday 2018 with 50% off. I know it won't happen, but dreaming is still allowed on LET.
I remember the Flying Burrito Brothers a lot differently than that...
@Francisco Please post in here when Las Vegas is in stock again
There was one available a couple days ago but I did not snatch it up in time.
Stocks go back the first, and the tenth of each month due to cancellations, and unpaid services getting terminated.
Cool, thanks for letting me know \o
@wtfcook Sign up here for BuyVM stock notifications.
Grabbed a slice a few days ago. Thanks though \o
Just curious, what have people been using this storage for? I mean it is more expensive than most of the backup servers (in LE* standard) so clearly a waste of money if you are just looking to backup your photos, etc. Large databases (that are being used heavily) might be one of the application but let's be honest, how many of us really have crazy 5TB DBs set up at home?
I don't think BuyVM is DMCA-friendly so I would assume movies/p0rns won't go a long way there too...
Not trying to troll, genuinely curious....
P.S., very nice new website @Francisco, still blue but looks a lot "modern" now
I've seen some nextcloud's, Linux ISO's obviously, plex/media servers, etc.
Some people using it as a more reliable backup server since they want more performance than they get elsewhere.
Francisco
Make sense, thanks for sharing the insight...might actually grab one when you landed in NY (living in the East Coast), or better still, Canada, eh
I'm on the East Coast of Canada and even then, the transfer speeds are more than acceptable. I backed up about 1.7TB in 3 days to a slab.
If @fransisco can set up in LUX, then they are DMCA friendly
