You can find some with bigger drives as well as 1Gbps.
not really bothered about networking just wondering how does everyone save storage
dont buy
reguard
You either use compression, use NAS / connect to other servers using SFTP / RSync etc. or you find bigger drives. I don't really understand what 'save storage' is supposed to mean. You can't fit 2TB of data onto a 240GB SSD, sorry.
my apoligies for not describing greatly but i mean how would i make 120GB storage work so that i'm using it efficiently and not wasting shite i do not need.. is it possible to upgrade drives on ovh kimsufi?
Install an OS without a GUI such as Ubuntu Server or a minimal distribution. Don't install anything else you don't need. You may need to use some scripts to trim data as caches and so forth grow over time. I don't believe that compressing system files is worth the performance hit.
If you need to access files on this server, you could use a cloud storage service or roll your own, I guess. Or buy another server in the same OVH location.
I don't believe you can upgrade unless some accounts are able to. You can however, find mystery versions of most of their servers which often have lots of storage. You will need to find someone to transfer it to you. You can find previous offers on this forum.
How much storage you need?
Ovh doesn't allow upgrades. What you see is what you get typically unless you get a server sprinkled with goodies for free
How to deal with this?
I don’t recommend those KS servers. They advertise SSD but the speeds are HDD tier, like 80 MB/s. The CPUs have a single thread GB6 score of like 700. It’s no wonder they are selling them with free setup fee.
Unless your use case is light enough to not need that much performance.
meh, is there any refund policy haha
Fourteen days.
I think that only applies for EU/IE. Not for CA/World.
I'm British so I don't know what I would be under?
Any idea?
Any yabs?
