it will NOT work unless you configure it as wimboot.

Run via Serverius speed test

Normal mode (iperf3 -c speedtest.serverius.net -p 5002 -P 10 -4):

[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 7.16 GBytes 6.15 Gbits/sec 133 sender [SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 7.15 GBytes 6.14 Gbits/sec receiver

Reverse mode (iperf3 -c speedtest.serverius.net -p 5002 -P 10 -4 -R):

[SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 5.38 GBytes 4.62 Gbits/sec 1897 sender [SUM] 0.00-10.00 sec 5.36 GBytes 4.61 Gbits/sec receiver

Pretty good? Run on 1TB instance.

Right. I have the configured and the image loads fine on my equipment when I try and deploy it to RA it says it ran out of space. I did notice that RA's 2012 installs at 10GB.

Has anyone tried installing 2012 taking a snapshot, and then moving that to the new zone?

Do it on vmware.

2 ways

normal install, capture image, deploy wimboot

or find a pre made image. it comes about around 6-7GB after wimboot.

Maybe that is my issue. I have been using Virtualbox. I will try on vmware.

5TB seems maybe alright, but if they keep the 10GE, not so sure. And it seems like they are using EUR->USD rates from a couple years ago. I don't think 25EUR is 35USD anymore. Laughable offer in the end, as I pointed out before. Unless you really need more than 100mbps port, skip this and get a kimsufi, or hetzner server to compare to the top end offer.

25 EUR = 28 USD

The high conversion to USD really makes the offer much less interesting. Almost $9 per TB compared to $7 means that other providers like Dacentec with dedicated hardware at $6.25 per GB with more transfer, and lower connection seems like a better option.

$7 per TB with near instant delivery seemed like a good deal.

$20/mo 4TB so it's $5/TB.

I didn't see the $20 were back in stock. I thought they only had the $25 or $50 8tb available. But yes the $20 are a great deal.
