Thanks for this info, glad that I read this. I don't need those extras 8 GB from Online.net directly. So this cheaper (plus no setup fee) box, is a much better deals.
Plus, I love your serverstatus script. Been using it, for years
Hoax, prank or not, I suppose everyone must admit that during Black Friday 2016 event Online.net ran very quick and resonant offer, which begot so much high-quality flame
Got mine too. But ssd speeds around 120MBps only Wondering if I should ask for refund and shift to 1TB
drive
Disk model ? Make sure to test with hdparm -t /dev/sda. All these DELL drives are limited to SATA2 for compatibility with old DELL servers.
I've got one with sdd.
Timing buffered disk reads: 766 MB in 3.00 seconds = 254.96 MB/sec
Looks perfectly fine for SATA2.
Try smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Model
Benched the ssd on windows. Not sure what to make of it.
Name in device manager is INTEL SSDSA2BW120G3
Decent for that type SSD.
It's all normal. You've got the slowest drive which is available in these machines
Max read speed is 270 MB/s
Max write speed is 130 MB/s
Drive itself is SATA2 native. 320 series were all SATA2, SATA3 was introduced in 330 series.
Other SSD possibilites were:
Results are pretty good, here is a comparison with the intel ssdsc2bb160g4, and my personal ssd.
Haha I know, I have 3 Samsung evo ssds in my personal rig, quite surprising that these perform this bad. But i guess cant ask more at this price.
What are you planning to do with the server?
These Intels will last at least 2x times longer than Samsung. Both are Enterprise grade and Samsung PM871 is just a desktop drive.
Quick bench:
Nothing tremendous, but not that bad for such a price w/ 8GB RAM and unlimited bw
It should be SSDSC2BB160G4R instead of SSDSC2BB160G4T to get SATA3 speeds
People are allready reselling those at 15EUR....
Well not a surprise, like ever Online special gets bought up by some arseshole for reselling at a 2-3 time the original price.
Fuck know's why they don't just limit them to one per account.
I would give 15 to 30€ for getting one but ownership change is Not possible on online.net ... and yes limitiing would be a good idea ... but i think it was an hidden Deal for oneprovider
afaik you can't change ownership, right? So how they resell them?
The give you root pw ? And installing with API i think
Ill buy one if they can be transferred.
Lol, are people that naive?
It's always the same - for whole two weeks they were available directly from Online.net for 10,99 Euro without setup. Getting 160 GB SSD was very easy, 240 GB was also possible as reported on that forum, but a lot harder. I actually never got a single one.
