1TB storage server offers

techdragon

Looking for storage servers with better drives than the RAID HDDs that are typically offered.

On spinning rust, my larger datasets are simply not progressing quickly enough.

Although a VPS is ideal, storage options that support S3, SFTP and FTPS would also work.

• 1TB SSD or better

• UK or NL

• 2GB RAM / 2VCPU

• Up to $10 per month

ultravps uses ZFS for their HDD storage:

fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50) (Partition /dev/vdb):

Total      | 5.28 GB/s    (10.3k) | 9.70 GB/s     (9.4k)

if this suits your then serverfactory has ZFS as well.

Okay never mind, not in NL or UK. Then, I know that Hostbrr has some SSD-cached HDD storage.

Looks quite unrealistic for a pure HDD speeds... 🤔

its ZFS cached so ZFS magic

Out of the can, my ZFS gives 90 iops on a ZFS raid 1.

It's also NVMe cached.
