Really??? OK, good luck!
Hehe, yes, really. They took quite a long time to setup it as well!
Is this an E3-1230v1 / v2 or v3?
using smartctl rather than the network script:
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family: SandForce Driven SSDs
Device Model: KINGSTON SV300S37A240G
Serial Number: 50026B724B0440D6
Sorry about that I didn't realize you were referring to the SSD..
It doesn't specify so I would imagine it's v1
They deployed that on your server???
@earl - Thanks
Ouch, those have a pretty high failure rate.
Best of luck with that.
Yup
Just NO! I bought one of those for my Dad's computer about a year ago. It died about 3 months later. Considering my Dad would use his computer 1-2 times a week to look at the horse racing results, he couldn't be considered a heavy user.
Those SSDs are awful but extremely cheap.
What is the hard disk and age on these units?
Kingston SSDs are really poor. I would not use them without at least RAID 1, and even then you're at big risk of losing data, even if they are brand new SSDs.
Samsung & Intel SSDs is where I put my money, haven't had one die yet... (knock on wood)
@Mikeyur - Samsung 840/850 Pro have been bullet proof. 850 Evo have shorter lives but at least they tell you when they are about to die.
Intel (lowend ones) have a habit of just going into super slow mode then dying.
@MarkTurner
Crucial Drives are quite good too. not much different than the samsung drives
Only ever had Intel (Low to mid range) SSDs fail on me, but i like to put my money on Crucial ones, wonderful performance with them.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the SSD's as this offer doesn't actually include one.. Comes standard with a 1TB 72k SATA drive.
If I did wanted SSD I would probably get the next deal which is Dual L5630 that comes with 32GB RAM and 250GB SSD as standard for $37.95.. Ends up your paying an extra $10/mo for better specs compared to paying $15/mo just to upgrade your SATA to SSD.
Also seeing that they advertise the CPU mark as 8033, I would guess its v1 too
I had an SSDV300 from Kingston lasted a year then I cloned the drive onto then it seemed to have a lot of issues with a fresh install corrupting and such.
Kinda strange they don't use intel SSDs, which I'd of thought they would or at least Samsung EVO. What HDDs do they use I wonder...
The offer is with a 250GB SSD or a 1TB disk as standard on the other plans... Interesting info though again, thank you guys.
No.. I added that myself just for convience, it wasnt specified in the original AD from Quadix. Im assuming its v1 cause of the price, but the difference between the versions is about 800-1200 in CPU Mark.
I'm getting horrible ping to their test server averages of atleast 180ms and highest is over 400ms with min of 121ms.
I wish it was better and I'm just on the west cost .
North east of LA... If it wasn't so bad I'd probably pick one up but it'll be used for PLEX and encoding and Android compiling so....it defeats my PLEX and latency ducks..
Anyone have a different IP I could test?.
Their quadix.CO IP gives me 23avgms but probably on a cdn
Same for my server in France. Is there something up with their network or is it just me right now.
ix.quadix.co is giving me 102ms in UK... Maybe a bad route for you? Perhaps contacting them would give some more insight...

Quadix.co is using using CF..
Maybe you got too many downloads going on? Quadix looks fine to me.

No downloads going on at all. I'll check in the am. It's 1am and I ran checks at 11pm to 12am.
I might have to mail their support. Its what's stopping me from getting a server though right now.
It got worse to its not 600ms haha. And averaging 580 Ms among tests.......
Same thing if I use my Verizon phone to ping it on LTE . Idk what's up right now. Peering to my LA server is getting 23ms avg and my France one is 230ms avg and is nornaly 180ms avg...so I'll have to wait and email them later on if it's not normal by am.
Do an MTR from/to your server and see if you're getting packet loss.. Looks to be something on your end.
apt-get install mtr-tinyyum install mtrYou'll have to wait. They knocked one of my boxes because of "abuse" without notification. They asked me if I wanted the copy of the abuse and said of course and requested it yesterday night. Still no updates and my box is down.
Contacted 3 guys ( email + ticket) including the owner.
That sucks man. Very disappointing that they are being slow on this still, all good info for anyone interested in their services...
At a cost of $10 a month per server, if you factor in the cost of space, power, and bandwidth, that leaves $17.95 a month to pay for the server (assuming they had no payment fees). They are making just a few dollars a month after they pay for the hardware lease on these, so, don't expect support to be special.
that's a silly excuse for shitty service. just because a system is cheap does not meen you provide crappy support.
If they can't deliver a service then they shouldn't even offer it…
