    M10G 1TB is guaranteed RAID5

    Not sure why someone would need RAID setup for a seedbox though

    If there's data issue, they can able to sync the new disk and with RAID5 or RAID10 setup which has lesser IOPS on 1 disk (RAID0).

    because avoid data loss and no backup myself

    I mean unless you have data that is super rare, you could just redownload the torrents. If its that rare, you should be backing it up irrespective of the RAID level.

    Yes I saw the EDIT2, but I just don't see the ~30% probability...

    It seems Standard V10G XS comes with a cheaper price and less traffic compared to 12th Anniversary V10G S.
    Now I am confused.

    Edit: you can see the Standard V10G product detailed page here: https://pulsedmedia.com/value10g-seedbox.php

    You can pay 1€/month more on 12th Anniversary V10G S for additional 6TB bandwidth though as the staff said as many of the customers preferred more bandwidth.

  • Possibly dumb question - is the pricing recurring even if paying monthly? Or do I need to pay 12 months at once to lock in the price for a year?

    You can try to perform a checkout on the cart out for all paid plan ones as it has various recurring months for you to select (without completing the full checkout). For the raffle ones, just 1st month free and recurring months for you to select.

    Can you tell me where is that offer 1€ for 6TB traffic? Or I should open ticket for that?

    Is that only for V10G S? Can I get it for V10G XS 12th anniversary? Thanks

  • @PulsedMedia can we get a one per customer limit on the raffle? I've received PM from members scaling it with 3 raffle wins on their accounts. And here we are sitting refreshing the page every chance we get.

    @PulsedMedia Today is 12th Feb... Maybe the best day for €12.12/yr deal? :wink:

    I hope there's some €12.12/yr deal with 2TB disk, high bandwidth is not needed (2TB is sufficient for me) :smiley:

    One can always hope...

    @kyroskoh said: Probably it is handled via the host server for RAID5 of 12-drive (the remaining 8-disk as backup/redundancy).

    No all 12 are being used. 11 data, 1 parity. Would not make sense to waste 8 drives, pay for them in all regards but not use them.

    @Astro said: I mean unless you have data that is super rare, you could just redownload the torrents. If its that rare, you should be backing it up irrespective of the RAID level.

    Some don't care, others do care. Hence we started offering RAID0 as well. RAID5 12drive into mix because it can cause a lot of work on our side if a lot of servers fail their drives at single time, like what happened just when V10G was launched, had more drive fails in ~a month than the past ~1½ years :)

    Essentially at some point it gets more expensive to have servers fail causing issues for users, than just have redundant storage. Each drive fail has also non-zero chance of users cancelling their service because of that.

    We like things buttery smooth, reliable and hands off. That's why for the longest time we did not have any RAID0 offerings.

    @RecD said: It seems Standard V10G XS comes with a cheaper price and less traffic compared to 12th Anniversary V10G S.
    Now I am confused.

    It is rebalancing towards traffic. Actually the margin on the anniversary for us is much much smaller than on the standard. Bandwidth is really expensive. We just got quoted from one provider 2300€ / month for single 10Gbps IP Transit connection. That doesn't even cover the cost from our place to their POP. Granted we expected this company to be a bit on the high side on prices tho, but that's probably much less than their typical customer pays for.

    Recurring monthly

    and after the specials are over you can request to have longer payment schedule OR just load up credit and it will be automatically used.
    We are going to start automatically using credit for new invoices next month unless someone can point to us a major reason not to.

    there might be an option actually for that. Ah yes! Apply once per order was applied but not apply once per customer! 🤦🤦

    Sorry but 12.12€/year with 2TB storage is just not doable, even the 1212GB is very borderline. On 3 year prepayment closer to reality tho. Not sure how far even then tho :/

    You missed out then, someone was a little bit quicker. Sorry WHMCS creates the order even if the service is not anymore available :/

    Yes they do.

  • Ah I was still stupidly waiting as I got a order received email.

    Now I’m sad and would want a 12TB server :(

    Dang! Someone managed to snatch FOUR raffle slots and still complained he missed one while logging in. The nerve with some people.

  • So whats the actual traffic of 12th Anniversary V1000 500GB and 12th Anniversary M10G 1TB

    I noticed there's free bonus disk policy... what's the difference of say just assigning 2TB now vs later? (1212GB + 65% = 2000GB, which is still within the 150% limit)

  • Gj to the one who took 12th Anniversary SSD 200G :) Hope its not the same guy who have already 5

    Some people just can't stop complaining.
    I personally even skipped on some raffles cause it was not the product I am looking for.
