Sounds unbelieveable... any expiriences? Seems to be Xen. HDD might be a single, dedicated, disk and no RAID.

If it is reliable provider, I'd buy a few of these, no matter where they are located. But it sounds unreasonable, 500gb for 20$. Maybe over-used old single drives.. But if it is in raid array, I really find it concerning.
It's RAID 10 according to the website.
Full root or remote desktop access
Inherited increased redundancy through RAID 10 architecture
Dedicated IP allocation
No long term contracts
Ability to customize the kernel
Many operating system choices, including: Windows Server, Fedora, Scientific Linux, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Red Hat ES, Oracle Linux, Unix, FreeBSD, Oracle Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD. Full list available on the checkout page

Considering choopa had a 8Tb dedicated server deal for about $60 a month and about $100 setup, I would say it sounds believable to me.
Choopa has great EU BW, i have one of their 8TB specials and do 12MB/s since today night to get my backups from them to my home PC.
So i guess this won't be an issue.
I think it's a single dedicated drive too. Is this an established provider?
They are owned by Choopa, so yea.
Now this is what i like
Even if io is bad, it will not matter as the network is slow enough and i think these will be mostly for backup, anyway.

How about the Hostslim previous offer?
Similar to Kimsufi? :L
You get a dedi, more RAM and more storage with Kimsufi
For the guys on the West Coast, we picked up a storage node from BuyVM for all misc data this week: 512mb / 500GB storage / 15.00 per month
Not seeing what's the big deal over a Kimsufi.
I swear this was going to be EDIS and I was going to explode. :X
@rm_ look at the prices; they're crazy for what you're getting (especially HDD space with the 2G however it's usually a crappy old/slow drive good enough for backups). However I now swear never to go near OVH again.
I live right next to piscataway. I'm really close to choopa, nac.net, atlanticmetro and all the dc's in NYC. seems that I made a good choice
Don't explain me what Kimsufi is, I know them and already have one, thanks.
I was asking why people think "500GB storage + 512MB RAM for 20$!" in this thread is such a big deal to even put an exclamation mark there; that I don't see any advantages this offer has over a Kimsufi 2G.
Why would you buy this and not a kimsufi with 2GB ram and 1TB storage?
Let's see - ECC RAM?
Besides everybody and his mother already has a kimsufi. Diversity is a good thing.
Still, with a dedicated server you're not sharing anything, which is why I stepped away from VPS a couple of months a go.
Location is the only really valid point I see, the others are valid as well but are just not very great selling points.
