Ordered $10 Atom as well
Got
Intel Atom 330
2GB RAM
640GB Western Digital Blue 2.9 Years old (http://www.cnet.com/products/wd-blue-wd6400aaks-hard-drive-640-gb-sata-300-series/specs/)
Smart test: https://ghostbin.com/paste/zcp7v
Good backup box and it is 1Gbit like @Jarland said.
@jarland can you post a screeny of your billing panel?
I got NO DISKS o.O
4GB RAM
750GB Seagate Barracuda (ST3750525AS)
Of course, as is standard for them, on 1Gbps port and not 100mbit.
Looks like the HDD is already having a ton of errors and is pretty much dead.....
This is just a normal Seagate SMART. Not to attack Seagate at all, just that even brand new and perfectly working drives from them will always have high numbers in these scary sounding parameter rows. Other manufacturers prefer to not expose the same counters, or always display 0 there. Perhaps this is just the 1st or 2nd one you see in your life?
Nope. This hard disk is fine. "Raw Read Error Rate" and "Seek Error Rate" values are vendor specific raw values and meaningless without knowing the data structure. The important attributes that actually correlate with HDD health all show that the HDD is healthy.
I want some more haha
Got a 10$ Core2Duo, 1.9k CPU Bench not bad.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND they are back. Got another Atom
Got aq Core2Duo... I hope the HDD is big enough for me
woulda gotten one of the $20 dacentec machines instead, but they're all gone now.
100mbit, yuck
Damn got a 500GB deskstar
Got a 500Gb too, I haven't check the brand :P
smartctl -a /dev/sda

Reminds me of the Kimsufi lottery. Keep buying till you get one you like
All gone.
Nah haha. Needing a ton of storage and boxes. Proxmox HA as well on these things aint bad either
@TinyTunnel_Tom just build this for you. You will never have to consider about storage any more
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/cloud-storage-hardware/
inb4 markturner swoops in with technical details about blackbaze vs delimiter storage and the whole thread becomes a long ass delimiter sales support ticket.
yeah that can be a big derailment but i'm just saying to tim b'cos he runs a host so he can build and host it himself
I'll resist the temptation
do they ignore DMCA?
no
@cociu says he does...
So do any of you guys have an issue with the atom model server that the connection seems to die if you do anything more than just ssh in? Like I start up simple rsyncs and the WSI atom will die, IP won't ping, nothing. I have to restart the server from their panel to fix this. I know I should make a ticket, but you know, I have a feeling I'd just get boilerplate responses about something "basic" like this being a misconfiguration. Or even better, they'd just restart the server like me and say "fixed".
I checked most of things I could think of and I see nothing obviously wrong in logs or settings, plus the fact the server is complete fine as long as I do nothing network "intensive", while if do the network will go down within the hour. I've never had anything at WSI so I'm rather unsure if maybe they have some extremely restrictive automated nullrouting. I wonder if they loan KVMs for these atom machines, at least that would let me look around while the issue is happening.
@Setsura my connection died also once.... Support Rebooted and everything was okay, if this happens again eh.
Yeah it is a continual issue for me, I've had to reboot it several times from the panel to check the issue.
If no one knows anything about this I may ask them if they do KVM loans for these, I'd rather look around myself first than ticket about it.
Not had this on either Atoms. Only once logged me out (presume surface died)
Just a small update if anyone else cares, or maybe experiences this in the future if they buy one. The issue was the onboard realtek NIC of the atom board. They replaced mine with a different board that has an Intel NIC and I've been stable since. So if anyone buys one of these atoms and gets one with a realtek NIC and has network disconnect issues, that board may still be in use.
Realtek on both my boxes and are fine
Nothing wrong with realtek themselves(well maybe a few things, but that is for another time), I'm just saying that the one on my board was clearly not functioning properly as per my issue.
You know what, I had the exact same problem with one of their Atom servers in 2013. They eventually "solved" it the same way they did with you - after hours of network debugging on my part. I wonder why they still assign these servers to their customers when they know for at least three years that those NICs are crap.
