AMD Zen2/Zen3 with PCI-e Gen4 SSD dedicated server
Hello!
I would be looking for an AMD Zen2/Zen3 based dedicated server also with PCI-e Gen4 SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro that has ~7000MB/s read speeds and ~5000MB/s write speeds. Also preferably if they accept crypto-currencies as a payment method it's even better. After several searches over several days and weeks I couldnt find anything satisfying.
Thank you!

Might have to collocate your own server to get that specific.
Just a reminder that 980 Pro has broken turbowrite/cache and Samsung is creating new firmware for months already - currently it get writes speeds limited to 500/1100/2000 MB/s (depends from disk size - 250/500/1000GB) until cache recovers and... cache recovers for hours or days.
My use case is continuous integration, for me renting hardware makes more sense because I want to benefit from incremental performance improvements of new CPUs every few months and change servers.
I see well the Samsung 980 Pro SSDs I own don't do that.
Maybe you don't fill them enough (it only kicks at less than 350GB of storage left iirc) or old firmware version did not have that problem
No idea, it's officially confirmed by Samsung and people are waiting for new firmware.
