[Request] VPS with 500GB+ Storage, 4K I/O ≥ 25 MB/s, $7-10/mo
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a VPS with the following specs:
Storage: Between 500 GB and 1 TB (ideally as a second disk), with the primary disk being at least 40 GB.
I/O Speed: I need 4K random read/write performance of at least 25 MB/s.
CPU: 2 cores
RAM: 2-4 GB
Budget: $7-10/month, paid monthly.
I've come across a couple of options, but I'd really appreciate if anyone could share YABS results for these or suggest other options that meet the requirements:
HostBRR
Price: $9/month
1 vCore (Intel Xeon E5-1650V3)
6 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
3000 GB HDD (RAID-6, NVMe cached)
9000 GB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps
Dedicated IPv4 + IPv6/64
Location: Falkenstein, Germany
AlphaVPS
Price: €3/month
1 GB Dedicated RAM
512 GB HDD (RAID60)
1.5 TB Bandwidth
Shared CPU core
1 Gbps Port
1 IPv4 IP + /64 IPv6
Location: Bulgaria
If anyone has experience with these providers, especially around 4K I/O speeds, or can recommend similar options within my budget, that would be great. Thanks in advance for the help!

— Just the HDD storage:
— Hybrid storage - SSD & HDD, so two disks:
Both fit your budget with a margin.
On the former one, despite the seemingly single disk, there is a possibility to reinstall the OS and keep the user data intact (since it's a SAN storage).
However I have never tried that and unsure how to do that properly.
Thanks for your suggestions, do you have any Yabs for these two ?
I never measured anything besides the traditional low-end dd test, so only have an old one for a different HDD plan:
Naboth providers are solid overall with great support and feedback.
Bare in mind you are on a forum where you are seeking cheapest and best services. It is wishful thinking to get all.
Many providers deliver. But you should evaluate yourself how much of a downtime or data loss you can accept.
If both are important you need to have backups or plans in place if something goes wrong with any provider service.
It happens to even the best. As long as you maintain correct expectations you should be good.
@Hostbr is an excellent provider in Germany, its storage, hosting, and servers are at a high level. Yes, it has been present on the forum for a little over 2 years, but it has proven itself here. Only @host_c can offer such a configuration for storage as its comparable, but it will be located in Romania and now such storages are not available. And another option @crunchbits - the assembly can be both simpler and more complex, the prices for special promotions were previously very favorable. Location America mainly. The site and configurations at the moment are https://crunchbits.com/vps/storage, but ask about special offers for Black Friday or individual solutions from them. Since there were previously very large storages and at very favorable offers. Wait for the offer to appear here, they promise soon -
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/193663/chat-host-c-xeon-v4-5tb-storage-deal-12-5-usd-quarter-45-usd-yr/p1. Very good service and quality of services.
As for @AlphaVps - also strong service and support from Bulgaria, the provider has long established itself on the forum. The same thing is done on Black Friday every year good and super offers, it is better to wait for this pair. But they offer few large disks, and usually these are small configurations. If you choose at the moment from the two you described - I choose hostbr because of the configuration power and reliability at the moment, plus my servers with them at the moment with powerful configurations and an additional disk for 1 terabyte. from the last Black Friday. @Alphavps had servers before, so the comparison was reasonable.
There is also @rsk it is younger than @crunchbits and often uses their infrastructure, but they can offer individual good plans and you can ask them, the quality is super and the support is good.
Here’s some examples BF 2023 Cruncbits:
• 1 vCPU
• 2GB RAM
• 14GB SSD
• 2TB HDD
• 6TB bandwidth
• IPv4 + IPv6 /64
• $4.80/month with promo code RAIDMEHARDER (20% off!)
• 4TB HDD/28GB SSD, 2 vCPU, 12TB bandwidth: $9.60/month
• 8TB HDD/56GB SSD, 4 vCPU, 24TB bandwidth: $19.20/month
• 16TB HDD/112GB SSD, 8 vCPU 48TB bandwidth: $38.40/month
• 32TB HDD/224GB SSD, 16 vCPU, 96TB bandwidth: $76.80/mont
We got a brand new storage offer coming soon, based on EPYC Genoa, NVME boot storage, Fast RAID6 block storage and 10 Gbps networking in Frankfurt.
Good to know! You will have plenty of stock or its limitted ?
@mcs Thanks for your suggestions
Sounds like solid hardware and fantastic! I'll rip my hair out on that Blesta page until I'll manage to import it on the pony site!
Didn't hostbrr just blow out tons of old racks they provisioned cheap customers onto? Not exactly the pinnacle of stability, in my humble opinion; most of all because cheap customers are just trying the waters; and it's a bad way to announce or present their higher-tier services; since it makes people shun them or unsubscribe.
The reason we subscribe cheaply is to test their waters, and when the cheap services have less than a week of uptime then it speaks for their general setup, imho., but not neccessarily. -- Cheap options should be a marketing tool for stability; but certain providers doesn't seem to understand this basic psychological entrypoint/impression.
Any one can offer something on BalckFriday ?
