location Europe prefer NL...
The safer green alternative?
anyway here's my Ramnode NL box
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.23867 s, 867 MB/s
Oops sorry I have ovh nodes in europe but they are mostly hdd nodes(sata) not ssd.

You can just use ramdisk and put your entire "50 MB" into ram, then use a cron job to copy the sql file into disk every minute or so.
Good Idea , but there will be a lot of queries on the database ( it is alive database )
Yes, and it'll be cheap because the entire DB is in RAM. The bottle neck would be your CPU now. At this point, any disk can write 50 MB every minute without an issue. However, if the server goes down, you lose (at maximum) 1 minute of information. You can write something custom to get writes to disk down to 30 secs (or any number) if you want.
1 minute of information is important to me ,
do you think the kimsufi ks-2 ssd is good for that ?

Chargebacks are important to you as well.
So how many thousands of pounds budget are we talking about ? 10?
yes 10 thousands of cents
I don't recommend running this before posting stuff online:
@tarek4web either lower requirements and stop being fussy, or increase your budget heavily.
@tarek4web
Why don't you just make a tmpfs or ramdisk and put it there? Then make a script that will copy the DB to the HDD/SDD periodically.
Edit: oh @black already mentioned that, sorry.
But you aren't from BoltVM, are you :P
That was non production domain name
BandWagonHost in Rotterdam.
1- No need to hide your affiliate link
2- They will not let him abuse the I/O at all if he needs to
If you want to 'abuse' the I/O why don't you go for a Dedicated Server?
Already mentioned a dedicated server in my first reply. I was just pointing the bad advice given just because he had an affiliate link.
Apologies
My advice was good and still is. I stand by it.
On the other hand, yours is quite dumb: a dedicated server with SSD will cost at least 10 times more and will be 10 times slower.
My BandWagonHost VPS has over 120K iops and over 1GBs speed. It runs a similar usecase to Tarek's one and it performs very well. I also have a dedi with 4 (desktop) SSD in (hw) RAID 10 and I'm (very) far to achieve these speeds on it.
(btw, for the aff links, see my sig, it's all automatic)
This request doesn't even make sense.
When you have a file that is frequently read and written, the OS will cache it for you, and write back to disk every few seconds. So basically any server with a reasonable r/w speed will qualify. For example, (randomly picked) Ramnode OpenVZ SSD-cached VPS.
When you need "highest io disk", is the time that you have 50k people visiting a website with 1 million page requests, everyday, on a 50GB+ database. Even that doesn't need the highest IO speed. Mine can barely reach 500iops, and a Ramnode SSD-cached VPS can easily provide you 2000iops.
50MB? C'mon.
If you are doing anything real where data must not be lost, a VPS is not the way to go, and a cheap dedi with a single disk is not the way to go either. You simply can't get good for cheap if you need real resilience.
