Time4VPS
Linux 4 - RAID protected SSD 103.87 EUR/yr

I have this from their Black Friday deal for 27.57 euro with 1 Gbps port speed. They market their offering as an SSD disk but limit the I/O to 50 MB/s to all of their servers.

    Already did. Tests with HDD from 2011 performs better than Time4VPS SSDs.

    I don't know why people keep buying from Time 4 VPS.

    Even before the acquisition they were terribly oversold to the extent they became one of the very few providers, whose VPS I didn't renew right after the first year.

    Good marketing, this was marketed as a 40 GB SSD with 4 GB DDR4-2666 ECC and 8 TB Bandwith.

    I think that's the right direction. You can certainly discuss the limits for SSD storage :D, but I don't really care whether a benchmark shows 100 MB/s or 1000 MB/s if I only need 20 MB/s for my application. What is important to me is that the given performance is available at all times, so that a stable and constant operation of applications is possible.

    thats the view of a provider not necessarily (most if not many) customers.
