    Not sure 30 minute intervals would work, they go pretty fast but hope you get one

    a minute? heh, i wouldn't want them to block my IP. 30 minutes is just fine :)

    Yeah how dare they to not provide brand new 2x2TB drives on a $20 server!

    My opinion is you shouldn't have to pay more than $100/x, where x is the age of the drives in years ...

    Per drive, as he has two, the cost of the $20 server is well within that.

    I've just checked mine and they are a mixed bag: 1.7 years, 4.6 years and 58 days. Presumably the older two were already in the box and the newer on is the drive added as I specified an extra one on the order. I definitely know that I don't have three drives from the same batch so don't run the extra risk of simultaneous failure that this can cause!

  • I wish I'd have the budget for it. Awesome offer.

  • risharderisharde Patron Provider, Veteran

    I am well aware of the low price for the server but both of the drives are around the same age of over 5 years so maybe even same batch. I really didn't say that I expected brand new drives. I said I was hoping for newer drives since some mentioned 3 year old drives. God forbid I wanted ddr4 ram or implied that in these posts :o

    The mix of drives you got is great for exactly the reason I was thinking

    I saw, but I gotta wait until the end of the month to purchase another :( I've spent way to much on hosting this month and the month just began lol.

    Grabbed another $20 one - this time I got the 1381 with dual 2TB drives which is what I originally wanted, now saw your post @al3xt, been refreshing ever so often and stumbled across it tonight!

    @sin I know what you mean - I have way to many VPSs and decided to take on the dedicated for cpanel due to fear of VPS suspension, I hope you snag one when the timing is right! Good luck!

    Now I have 2, an 1352 with dual 1 TBs + 5ips
    and jus got the 2nd with the 1381 with the dual 2TB

    Looks like I'll have to migrate the 1352 to the 1381 before I decide whether to give up the 1352

  • LOL.. grab ALL da $20 servers.... I just took a look at some of the other servers out of curiosity, there is one that says RAID 10 but it only comes with 2 disks... how does that work? O_o

    It's a new form of RAID 10 that just means your choice of RAID-1 or RAID-0.

    There's currently a $25 dollar one available, surprised it hasn't been sold out yet

  • the extra $5 is a killer because you only get a marginally improved CPU

  • risharderisharde Patron Provider, Veteran

    @JoeMerit good point indeed, that extra $5 could be used for a /29 on a $20 dollar as well

  • Server delivered in 5 hours from when i placed da order. Impressive.

    2 X 2TB servers back in stock for those looking.

    @Dacentec have had a ticket open with your billing since 11.... any chance you guys are going to get to it? My invoice is marked as unpaid even though I've paid you and sent you the transaction number.

  • risharderisharde Patron Provider, Veteran

    $20 dollar 1381 servers back in stock with 2x1 TB drives... just saw it

    Been waiting since yesterday for a /29... Dacentec support seems to be a bit slow today
