@FootKaput Your nickname is a tongue twister and it makes me fill with emotions of happiness and joy. At this particular moment, it compensates for all of life's hardships.

Glad to bring happiness to anyone's day!

So I signed up for a notification when a 4096 BuyKVM slice in NY was available... I got notified shortly after I picked up a HostDoc plan.

I tried to sign up with BuyVM but the fraud department kicked it back (understandably)... I tried again from my home PC and it got cancelled right away. Ticket is in... waiting for new toys sucks.

Glad u found and got the Dallas plan. I'm using it for production too

Upgrade ur kernel to 4.20 and above. Should nett u around 800MB/s

I/O speed(1st run)   : 790 MB/s
I/O speed(2nd run)   : 935 MB/s
I/O speed(3rd run)   : 819 MB/s
Average I/O speed    : 848.0 MB/s

eol

4.20.14.
Running strong.

@Francisco - Karen was very patient and helpful. I think I'm signed back up now, pending creation.

Any reason to go for 5.0?

Not for me yet.
Let this thing mature for a bit...

Welcome to the (dysfunctional) family.

This is exactly why I bought servers. I had no idea I could update the kernel myself. Google to the rescue... I've installed elrepo 4.4 and 5.0, but not seeing 4.20. Is there a different repo?

FootKaput

More googling. Got it:

OS                   : CentOS 7.6.1810
Arch                 : x86_64 (64 Bit)
Kernel               : 4.20.13-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I/O speed(1st run)   : 838 MB/s
I/O speed(2nd run)   : 821 MB/s
I/O speed(3rd run)   : 897 MB/s
Average I/O speed    : 852.0 MB/s
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Node Name                       IPv4 address            Download Speed

You can even compile it yourself with your own config depending on your distro.

Welcome to NVMe

Did you do a BBR along with 4.20? Gets u flying along CacheFly.

eol

+1 BBR.

FootKaput

Nope. I just learned how to upgrade a kernel. Best I can tell BBR is Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT but I've not found how to do it...YET.

no worries. only started using linux (centos7) and vps 4 months ago. just 3 lines on step2

FootKaput

hey @HostDoc... new kernel and BBR (and whatever you may have done!):

I was just playing around with Ant... lol

Glad you found what you needed though! :-)

Edit: I can (actually) close the thread this time if you want

FootKaput

Please go forth and close. Quite a day of learning.

Considering your use case, I believe the LA-BBox2 from Letbox @key900 is your best option.

2 vCPU with 2GB RAM and 30GB Nvme storage and a 256GB block storage and 3TB monthly bandwidth at 1Gbps uplink for $6.70 a month (KVM)

The specs are good enough for your use case and the 256GB slower block storage (it shows up as another partition in the system) is great bonus to put your nzb grabs. Just mount that partition as your home directory and you are set.

I don't know of a better combination you can get for your requirements.

Thanks for sharing us , The Block Storage are much faster than ever now yes it doesn’t compare to our NVMe can hit up 1.3GB/s but it quite fast
