Cool~
An e3 is plenty for what I use it for. I did a zfs raidz2 so I have about 91 TB usable. The network is pretty decent for my use. Im starting to move my Plex library over. Still got along way to fill up this much storage.
That storage deal, Jesus. You landed on the LET map and planted your feet hard.
I feel like that many drives will end up with many service requests to replace drives over time. Given most are brand new, hopefully that doesn't start happening for 3+ years. But these are USB shucks with voided 1-year warranty, so I always wonder if the drives they put in the USB enclosures are gimped in some way that didn't pass as the internal drive version (e.g. can't hit peak speeds that don't matter with USB limited transfers).
Hoe can one say they are shuks?
Maybe we'll have to try and be the MXroute of storage.
I believe you are correct and they were shucked. It's why it's not a "premium" or "primary" product for us. If I didn't make it clear on that point or anyone is unhappy with them, absolutely no problem refunding as I don't want to mislead at all. Figured it was a good match with those chassis and bang:buck ratio was solid.
They were from an era when we colocated some Chia(i think? some hard drive proof-of-space-time-magic and something do with 'plotting') coin miners that eventually asked to pay their colo bill in unused hardware. It's not something we can (or would) deploy for our storage VPSes, but I thought it would be a good deal if anyone needed massive storage ready to go. If they become a huge service hassle I'll just let anyone on those migrate to our 12/16TB disks that we use and call it a day since it's so few overall.
On the same token, anyone need RTX 3070's and 3080's? A few months worth of colocation bills paid in those too
Thank you for your test! Anyway, I've missed the 120T deal due to the holiday plan. damn!
Dare I say I have been waiting years for a host like @crunchbits
I have been using their kvm ssd vps for few days now & so far the performance has been top notch. 480Gb with all the bells & whistles in a price that no one can ignore. In fact I completely agree with Jar about crunchbits having made a mark here in the LET world, I honestly wish I cud get more. I am thinking of retiring my ovh server & signing up for ssd packages with crunchbits instead bcoz so far they look a very reliable alternative . The only thing I wud luv to see from them are storage vps deals, maybe use few of these 120tb servers for that? & beat hosthatch in the pricing, that wud be so awesome ? I bet u can get more than $99 a month from the vps deals. I wud pay biannually or even triennially for something like that.
I really do appreciate this a lot, thank you for the feedback.
There has been a lot of demand for the storage VPSes, and we're likely going to push them out with a little bonus for LET when they're ready. I just have a hard rule that nothing will be allowed to be ordered until it's been built, tested, racked, and we've spun it up/down a few times. If you can order it on our website, you should have it as soon as the payment completes. Unfortunately, we have 2 pallets full of HDDs and chassis missing since Dec 19th holding this up. We have some additional stuff coming as an emergency backup, but I'm extremely hesitant to make any promises on dates as logistics have been a real challenge over the last year.
The 120TB are just LET-only specials on some excess gear we have that can't be pushed into our core line-up. Whenever we get odd/mismatched hardware I'll likely throw up one-time deals like that to the LET community.
That's a very solid stance. I have a hunch that I may have landed a great deal, almost like the feeling of being friends with a famous actor before they became famous
I wish you success in all ur future ventures & look forward to your storage vpses whenever they land here.
@crunchbits your service not allow download from torrent, right?
I am waiting your vps storage.!
Haha
I just approach it from the perspective of how I would want to be treated as the customer.
We don't have a problem with you using your server however (within our ToS/AUP). If we get legitimate DMCA's we will have to discuss them with you and come to a solution since we are US-based, so just keep that in mind for any public activities you may or may not be doing. Many of our users love to host their gigantic collection of linux ISOs
Too bad, I need a storage server in a US location for backup, but when I saw your promotion, it was sold out, very sad.
ditto. keeping an eye out for the storage vps to pop in stock too
I googled the model number.
I've bought 16 or 18TB shucks before when price was much cheaper and the drive inside was a known internal Gold model just repackaged.
But it's mostly that they'll sell them for cheaper despite higher packaging, power supply and enclosure costs with shorter warranty that makes me suspect AF. It comes down to luck, hoping they're just filling external USB orders at a loss.
For some reason, the WD Red Plus drives that should only be 3 year warranty show 5 years for me, so that's where I'm buying mostly.
I see. Thanks for sharing. Are these with decent reliability?
I think it's the kind of thing too small scale for one to say with authority, best to check Reddit datahoarders. My takeaway is that the price needs to make up for statistical failure over a few years to make it worth it.
I stick with ones that are just repackaged internal drives. Ones modified for cheaper Power adapter or need mods are too much hassle.

I'm late to the 3x party, hope it still going
Yep, coupon for the SSDs is still working--will still honor it.
What is the difference between 3.1 to 3.8GHz EPYC NVMe VPS 2GB and 3.4 to 4.9GHz Ryzen 5950X VPS 2GB in terms of cpu performance and features?
Ryzen 5950X is generally going to be faster as it can boost much higher. Especially in single-threaded stuff. EPYCs will usually have more memory bandwidth, higher maximum memory, bigger L1/L3 cache, and some niche features. We do use ECC memory on both.
