    SATA 2/3 is really irrelevant with 7200RPM drives.

    while that might be true, If I had the choice I would still take the SATA 3 if it was for the same price.

    Also you probably get a better chance of getting a bigger cache as well with the newer SATA 3 drives..

    As i know, no.
    @earl: is there anyway to have Windows run on this server without paying license fee for OVH :D . I have no idea :(

    to what I'm reading it says you can, but not sure about the procedure since I dont have a server at BHS..

    here is some article on it..

    probably best to just call them, I would not want to be accidentally charged for a license

    you cannot add additional IP's for the PE servers which is the one for $29/mo.. but if you get the KS line it includes 4 IP's and /64 of IPV6..

    When I called OVH in BHS to confirm, even the sales guy was somewhat boggled that they only gave 1 IPV6 with the PE server.. he said I'm sure it comes more than 1 IPV6, which I said /128.. guy said yup 1 IPV6.

    @earl do you have the server already? Check your IPv6 details in ManagerV5.
    To this day the http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/ page says all these Kimsufi get only 1 IPv6.
    However many people have confirmed that in reality they got a /64 as usual with other OVH dedis.

    Actually I did not buy this server, so I can't confirm if it comes with /128 but for the ovh.ie I do have a /64 of IPV6

    Wait, you guys got this deal with a 1Gbit port? Mine is only 100Mb.

    it's 5 TB on a 100Mbit port.. there after it's limited to 10 Mbit

    Setup was quick. 6 minutes. I'd call that the quickest i've seen yet for a dedicated server. Thrilled with the setup time.

    WTF? without repair SLA, good luck with that... airline tickets to CA DC will cost more than their server.

    I wonder WTF are you going on about. All they state there is that while they start working on your server within 4 hours, actual repair time is not guaranteed. Could mean they will fix it in 12 hours, could be in a day/two/three. And while you are preparing those plane tickets and visas to boldly go and personally repair your $29/mo server, maybe consider the fact that no one is going to allow you into their DC to even touch their ultra-high-density custom-built servers in the first place...

    Why would you fly to the DC? I mean it's not colo, your renting the server and I doubt they let non employees access to the DC anyways..

    @Jarland

    The I/O is pretty good for 1 drive.. I think OVH normally gives decent drives compared to WII/DS..

    so you can use your own windows license? that's good to know then thanks..

    yeah I think OVH in Canada is pretty good.. even when I call they pick up right away.. then again OVH.ie the one or two time I emailed support they were reasonable quick! it's when it comes to billing and sales is what really takes them a while.

    well, I'm glad they are treating you good..

    What's with ovh and ip failovers? We have some vps providers providing two and even four extra ips for a simple vps. ovh doesnt provide even 2!

    Actually if you purchase the KS1 server from ovh.ca they include a total of 4 IPV4 and /64 IPV6.. but it cost $10/mo more, it also had 2 x 1TB so you can do raid..

    I am wondering if anyone has ever emailed them to ask if they don't allow extra IP or if that is just a lost in translation from French to English :p

    yes I have called ovh.ca to confirm.. the PE servers comes with 1IPV4 and 1 IPV6.. the KS line of server comes with 4IPV4 and /64 ipV6 inclusive in the price of the server..

    I think they did this in OVH.ie as well for all the KS servers, you can only get 1 IPV4 no more..

    While I was tempted I did not get one because I would have no use for a server with just 1 IP.. suppose it would make a great torrent or file server.
