Still no double bandwidth?
Not for KS it seems. But one gets a steady 10MB/s.
No worries, just giving you a hard time.
I'm still contemplating getting one: if I do, it will be my first KS ever. But perhaps I should sleep on it first ...
I thank you for your sanity.
I worry about your sanity
One must never contemplate these offers - buy in haste
repentidle in leisureI often do too!
By the way, how much BW do they give? Or is it unmetered?
Unmetered but 100Mbit (very reliable and consistent 100MBit though).
Frankly it's a no brainer - it's the cheapest 2TB I've ever seen on the KS series - so just bite the bullet and get one.
I also think that the N2800 is more usable than the ARMs and the CPUs is definitely decent (though no AES, it still performs well for LUKS encrypted stuff) and it is fundamentally an excellent backup machine.
You forgot to add: IF you need one
i5 i5 ?? i love i5~~~
I have already purchased ks-7, please help me open. Thank you.
The order 7265595 is being processed.
Any way I can get a KS-7 at the FR DC?
Much better network connection to FR...
Not at discounted price
Will they be there in the future?
If so will I be able to migrate my CA one?
On i3 FR was already a few months ago.
Possible but with no ETA. Migration should be done manuelly on your side.
How much time account validation / "manual payment checking" usually takes?
Ordered yesterday.
P.S.: thats not a problem for me - just interesting.
The first orders on the account are not immediately and stuck on "We check payment manually".
@ninzo59
I always wondered what does "Kimsufi" even mean?
qui me suffit 'what is sufficient for me'
It's a pretty creative name.
I agree.
@ninzo59, I did not expect the KS-7 in Canada to get back on promotion, it was a great surprise. Thank you!
I'd rather translate this as "Good enough for me" (as in "I can live with a meager 100Mbps bandwidth that's slower than my home connection, oh look the dumbest IPv6 setup put in prod ever, and who needs support anyway")
If I go for the KS-7 in Canada does that mean tickets are dealt with by Canada (which is 24/7), or as I am in the UK are they still dealt with by the UK team (ie, only 9am-5pm week days)?
Yeah, that would be a free translation that captures the low-end spirit of the phrase better. The idea is that less is good enough for my purposes.
Virtually brand new 7K6000 in mine, but the 512n variety
I talked myself into the KS-7 in BHS ("40% off, well gosh - I can't afford not to get that!")
disk info - HGST Ultrastar 7K4000, powered on 34377 hours (almost 4 years).
Not the freshest chip in the bag, but ... works for me and my (deep) backups.
Until it doesn't, I guess.
are you bit down cos disk hours older than you
j/k
fair enough - next month I will be 2 years old (on LET)
What bothers me more is that I just checked the disk on the KS-10 I told myself Iwas going to be done with - and of course I now notice it has a relatively new disk, just about 14000 hours old ... and I actually do have a use for the 16 GB ram I'd be giving up with that box.
Still glad I got the KS-7 though.
Couldn't afford not to ...
and can still afford ramen, so there's that.
You don't get near fresh disks on a Kimsufi server that often, the only time you do is when the disk been replaced due to total disk failure or if a previously customer of it asked OVH to replace it due to smart data e.g. high Reallocated_Sector_Ct .
The hardware just keep getting recycled to next customer until it fails.
Any clues as to what the next Kimsufi and SYS offers may be please ?
