Test the disk I/O of your VPS

This is totally idiotic running dd benchmarks and heavy test things on a productive node. You do not need and cannot expect 800MB.s for $5 VPS. And not sure why is needed with a drive space the VPS is offering 20GB or 30GB only ...
one could also trick these I/O benchmarks too. very easily.
IDE oldskool.
Quantum bigfoot?
A freebie I got. It's KVM VPS.
Node: Dual E5-2650v3 with DDR4 RAM and RAID10 or so (don't remember exactly).
IDE driver. I asked the provider to change to Virtio. Now on Virtio. Will post a result with Virtio later.
60MB/s for 20$/mo (DO) VPS is terrible

@inthecloudblog and the point of resurrecting the thread from 2011 was to... ?
Not to mention that this (DD testing) is a pointless exercise, right ?
@Clouvider isn't it better to contain this sort of "content" in one topic rather to have new posts for every single topic that features such content? The resurrection is justified in my view.
I wasn't aware this post was not resurrected by someone else so I've posted. Also agree with @k0nsl
I'm dare to ressurect it)
Bandwagon $10/yr VPS (quite a bang for the buck)

Pretty good?? Also, I'm pretty sure the freevps bench script network speed tests used up my 1G free tier transfer allotment, lol.
Side note/hint: Those 'dd' tests de facto measure a lot of things many of which are not what you want. Plus running dd or similar for multiple seconds or worse disturbs the other VPSs on a node.
A better alternative: vpsb -d -p /path_to_test
That behaves nicely on a VPS and offers better results too e.g. sequential vs (true) random access for both reading and writing.
something vps in lowendbox
100GB HDD
and 100~170iops
fast!
