GreenValueHost: Disk I/O is Poor! Post Your dd Result Here!

Hi,
I got a OpenVZ Box with 4 TB (!) Ram [Although, it should be 4 GB but it shows like this], 290 GB SSD-Accelerated Disk (!) [Totally Misleading, there's no touch of SSD, neither SSD nor SSD-Caching], Maybe 2 IPv4, 4 Shared Cores of E3-1240 v2, 30 TB B/W at Texas (via CC).
Today, when I ran dd command, I got it's 36.5 mbps which is never acceptable on Jon's so called "SSD-Accelerated" Disk Space. I'm on TX2 Node.
Would you mind sharing your DD result here as comment, also the Name of the Node you are hosted on.
Only Those who are using VPS from GreenValueHost
For those who can't remember dd command, it's:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
Thanks All & Sorry for My Poor English -_-

Mr. John ( @greenvaluehost ) should let us know the reason while we get ready for popcorn.
I urgely request @mpkossen to do so. It's not only My Request, A request from LET Community!
@ehostlab and why the f*** did you order it? What results did you expect? Or you just needed some more drama?
@Mun Would you mind sharing your DD Test Cron Script?? I need to monitor my one closely after some hours
For me it was drama mainly, I didn't have the VPS for any longer than a few hours but I certainly got some DRAMA!!!
Why are you getting Angry Mate? -_- I'm just wondering if SSD-Cached, SSD-Accelerated & SATA mean the same??
SSD-Cached, SSD-Accelerated or any other modern hype word can be hammered to death and overloaded, just as any other storage technology in a shared environment.
@ehostlab yeah, we start, you finish them.... ROFL this provider is scamming more from time to time, from policies change in one night and change back in an hour after a massive blow up then public appologize also have a private chat that he asking a chance to prove they are good, but i just got an email that said i was slander and said something bad on them, @ehostlab why dont you tag him at here LoL

It's the new equivalent of throwing boiling water into the air.
I feel I should point out that despite the 'low' DD results I posted above, I have absolutely no issues doing anything with my VPS. The console response is snappy, installing packages is just as fast as anywhere else, and the network is fine for VPN.
Chicago ch1
Takes about 20 seconds for the ssh to even fully connect and I am only 100 miles away from Chicago. Surely a disk I/O problem. I have 3 servers with them and 2 of them are just for testing and have nothing running on them. Unfortunately they are all in Chicago and on the same node.
There is nothing important on any of these vps and not really worried much about how they perform. Nice to have for testing at the price I picked them up for. That is if I can load the SSH.
Just thought I would share the results.

Yeah, for VPN, you can ignore the Point of DD. But, those who host files must think of Disk I/O. In December, My Backup used to done in 10-15 minutes as the I/O was better, files were synced faster. But, now, it takes more than an hour only because of the I/O.
Still, why do people still get GVH servers after thousands of bad reviews here on LET? Nobody using this forum should never buy a GVH server, and if they do, don't complain about it, for 99% of all here on the forum know that GVH is a bad host.
Maybe a new business model for GVH, Drama plans, with auto membership here at LET.

Paying GVH just to make more drama
Because they will do anything to get more with less.
I hadn't bought it right now. I bought it Back in December Blowout (!) [ Is it something that GVH has blown out everything?? ]
Some celebrities get famous this way
So why use them if they are so bad? Me personally im tired of people bringing up these stupid threads about them. As you seen they are not going to respond because its school time.
Atleast the plan was cheap so stop complaining...
@lan_ your skype is off ? try a hundred times to contact you but got no answers
He's blocked you in advance because you can't secure a server and send plenty of outbound DoS.
