    Yes. I have one too. Did you grab one? SSD age was way too old at least 5 years, and worn out level is 60%.

    Where did you see that? I can't find any trace of it on LET Black Friday offers.

    It was available on the page following page. https://www.psychz.net/dashboard/client/web/order/special-dedicated-servers

    I personally ordered it, though I configured it with an extra 256GB SSD for $5 more.

    Ryzen is in the market now. Offering at least 2x performance for the same price so why go for an outdated hardware.

  • HxxxHxxx Member

    Same price you say? Are you nuts...? This is dedicated server we are talking. A full E3 of any kind fully dedicated will smoke any half assed vCore shit Ryzen you can buy for 24/mo on US on a decent datacenter.

    By the way stop saying "Ryzen", is not a server CPU and it hasn't changed the E3 prices. The budget price comes from this specific 1230v2 being ~8 years old. There are newer Xeon CPU's arriving at the market which naturally pushes the prices down of older hardware.

    Fucking get triggered with the Desktop CPU Ryzen fan kids. Let's talk Server CPU AMD EPYC. Now we are talking big leagues, E N T E R P R I S E /Server Grade.

    Well for me personally, I don't care whether it is server or desktop one, as long as it give me moar GB4/5 score..

    Score 950-up for GB5 single core for recent CPU is one I will look at.. and score 550-650 GB5 single core for old CPU is within acceptable range.

    There are already 2 generations of Intel Xeon E above the most recent Intel Xeon E3v6 CPU from that series.

    Which Xeon was it? Are you satisfied? Better performance now?

  • inti82inti82 Member

    That's Intel way of competing in the market..

    They're cheap because they're quite old and providers can buy them cheap second-hand (can sometimes find them for $50 on eBay), or reuse components from decommissioned servers. Some of these CPUs are close to 10 years old now.

    I found this gold on this site

    < Alkivar> we're on our way back from partying in NYC over the weekend ... it was like sunday afternoon we're headed back west
< Alkivar> we're cruisin... maybe 130-140mph
< Alkivar> flew past a trooper on the side of the road
< Alkivar> trooper lights up ... siren blasting ... chasing us down the highway
< Alkivar> we're both like should we stop ... there's no way he can catch up to us
< Alkivar> we decided to be good and stop
< Alkivar> cop catches up to us ... comes out gun drawn ... pissed as hell
< Alkivar> walks up to the side of the car and goes
< Alkivar> "SON CAN I SEE YOUR PILOT'S LICENSE"
< Alkivar> Jason pulls out his fucking pilot's license
< Alkivar> cop's jaw hits the fucking ground
< Alkivar> most stunned face I've ever fucking seen
< Alkivar> in this practically a whimper goes "get the fuck out of here"
< Alkivar> no ticket... too embarassed apparently
< Alkivar> I'll never forget that day long as I live
< Alkivar> I was sure we were goin to jail






<drmason> there was this one time I was wanking to porn...
<drmason> ... I kept a javascript tutorial open in another window so my parents didn't start wondering why I was always on the desktop with no windows showing
<drmason> so I'm just about to splurge when I suddenly hear my dad coming up the stairs
<drmason> alt-tabbed to the other window and tried to pull my boxers up... computer stalled JUST THEN as my dad was opening the door
<drmason> I just stood up and was like "fuck... dad this honestly isn't what it looks like"
<drmason> and he glanced at the screen and said "I sure hope so because it looks like you're masturbating to a fucking javascript tutorial"

    Many providers purchased thousands of these e3 units years ago and they've long since been paid off. So prices are coming way down in the retail market.

    At this point it's just paying for the rack space to get new customers in the door and have them upgrade to better performing servers.

  • NetDynamics24NetDynamics24 Member, Host Rep

    Is it only me who saw price increase the last few months on E3 servers?
