    Everything looks good, but I wish disk performance was little better.

    Just want to understand what more IO would be needed for a server intended to keep pure backups only? This seems perfectly normal to me. I have a few 3tb servers with HostHatch since 2019 and they perform equally well.

    I'd say it is good enough for cold backups

    Cheers for sharing bro.

    anyone else that have an nvme at the Los Angeles location that can share some stats?

    I'm curious about the allocation of '2TB" at 1999542157312 bytes.

    I'm not complaining at losing a whopping 458MB, it's just such an awkward number that I'm mystified.

    Just want to understand what more IO would be needed for a server intended to keep pure backups only? This seems perfectly normal to me. I have a few 3tb servers with HostHatch since 2019 and they perform equally well.

    IIRC it is advertised as "storage" VPS, not "backup only". Storing data does not necessarily imply sluggish access, or slow retrieval, or reduced availability.

    Think "rsync-powered mirroring", "cloud-optimized access of gigabyte-sized datasets" among other use cases that require terabytes of responsive storage with next to no ram/cpu.

    I'm curious about the allocation of '2TB" at 1999542157312 bytes.

    I'm not complaining at losing a whopping 458MB, it's just such an awkward number that I'm mystified.

    2,000,000,000,000 bytes, minus taxes. :|

    True, but what the OP has posted seems perfectly normal for either usecases presented aka storage/ backup. Infact running a NextCloud instance for personal storage should work effectively fine without any issues.

    Think "rsync-powered mirroring", "cloud-optimized access of gigabyte-sized datasets" among other use cases that require terabytes of storage with next to no ram/cpu.

    So, rsync/ rclone - they will not take much CPU/ RAM?

    Not much: you can perform a rsync run of 1 million files on a 1-core/256MB VPS - painless if coupled with beefy storage.

    Thats great to know. I actually have a low spec system with high storage which I would like to use. Wanted to try rsync. Thanks!

    More aggravatingly, the timings are completely wonky.

    For a while, 2TB was giving 6MB/s (as measured with 'dd status=progress')
    In this case, it takes noticeable amount of time for first SSH connection, or to install packages.

    Then, it perked up to 40MB/s, which made things decidedly more usable.

    Lesson learned, I suppose - do any providers with high storage offer a small 'boot drive' option (eg, 5GB NVME + xTB spinning?)

    ServaRICA (promo still up iirc), but that is Canada.

    also give some time - I would guess people are still mass deploying theirs things [and HH deploying new VMs] and in like a week things should cooldown and we should be back on more normal speeds.

    Give it a few days till every weirdo is done with benchmarking their new toy, uploading insane amounts of iso backups, etc. :D

    Servarica has the dual-storage thing you need (10GB /dev/xvda for system + nTB /dev/xvdb for storage) but don't expect miracles, it's sluggish too (or at least sometimes).

    their storage vps is hit or miss. had a good one in LAX with decent performance, but Stockholm didn't fare as well. high IOwait killed the experience.

    I had the same experience in STO a few years ago, and my CHI 120$/10tb/yr was great when it first started but network started to suffer the past 12 months so I regretfully got rid of that a few days ago

    You are lucky. ISO file are not uploaded in ISO Management. There have already been several similar issues in this thread. What file sharing service did you use for the link?

    No wonder you don't get support if that's your description of the problem.

    use direct link like http://123.45.67.89/image.iso

    Also, as with a lot of providers, they define "cores" in the same way that Linux does, meaning they're actually threads rather than actual cores. This means that "100% dedicated" means one thread, and "200% dedicated" actually refers to one physical core. I'm personally not a fan of this labelling, as a thread is not the same thing as half a core - for example, a CPU with 16 cores / 16 threads is absolutely faster than a system with 8 cores / 16 threads. HyperThreading (two threads per core, like what modern CPUs do) generally only increases performance by around 30-35%, not 100%.

    I was really impressed with @mxmla from server-factory's way of dealing with this. If you ordered 2 dedicated vCores, you got 2 threads pinned to the same physical core, so you were guaranteed that it was truly dedicated.

    If you ordered 1 dedicated vCore, you got one of the threads pinned to a physical core, and you were CPU timesliced to give you exactly 50% of the time from that core, so again you should get truly dedicated in terms of CPU time (but possibly not cache).

    It would be slightly wasteful of resource, as there would be occasions when both threads were maxed out to their CPU limit, but the core wouldn't be fully utilised, but personally I think it's the best compromise for a dedicated offering if you don't want to always sell in multiples of 2 vCores.

    He also sold dedicated 1/2 vCore which was limited to 25% CPU time.
