Depend on what you running there. When I use for Office editing, browsing, web dev it still fast enough.
I have i76700hq on the laptop, high end nvidia graphics, 8gb ram, and I'm having a pretty shitty run, the disk is bottlenecking at 100% at mutiple things. If we are discussing laptops, SSD is a must I think. It's unhealthy to jump to conclusions for server usage from this data, but I think 5400 is just too shitty at this point in time. Just don't.
Any news on the offer? Or is it:
that would be very much be an DOA offer to me...
@ARiEWWW yes it is this one i am about to post the offer.
@Falzo would you mind be a little more explicit ?
KS-2E Atom™ N2800 640 2c / 4t 1.86 GHz+ 4 GB 2 TB 100 Mbps /128 14,99 € + IVA KS-3C Core™ i3-2130/3240 4059 2c / 4t 3.4 GHz+ 8 GB 2 TB 100 Mbps /128 16,99 € + IVA KS-3A AMD Opteron 4122 2942 2c / 4t 2.2 GHz+ 16 GB 2 TB 100 Mbps /128 19,99 € + IVA KS-3B Core™ i5-750 3740 4c / 4t 2.67 GHz+ 16 GB 2 TB 100 Mbps /128 19,99 € + IVA@ikoula yeah for sure. as said above I won't care about the 5400 tr/min while looking for a storage solution. yet you're offer does come with only one disk so no redundancy in case of disk failure at all.
given the price point at around 10€ per TB - I would rather go with hetzner auctions or something like that, which meet that pricepoint too but offer more RAM, 1Gbps and so on.
and even if I would not want to raise my budget above 20€ kimsufi beats you pricewise on that one with 16,99 while having more RAM ...
TL;DR; to be an acceptable offer in this part of the market I'd at least expect 2x2TB disk and probably 1 Gbps port for that price.
I'll await the LET offer, but a 50% offer won't cut it for me
NEAT stuft, better AS before.
If the pricing beats kimsufi / online for a cheap storage box, you'll have a winner, 5400 or not.
Never letting go of my 15euro kimsufi i5-3570S/2TB.
Grandfathered pricing FTW.
Well, 5400 RPM (WD GREEN in RAID1 so IOPS was not bad... but...) was really surprise for me when I got 20€ server from servdiscount.com. But another surprise was that they agreed to change 5400 to 7200 without any additional cost when I asked for it. Great support btw. I have twice IOPS with 7200 now (approx 190Mb/s vs 95Mb/s). Meanwhile 5400 RPM is proper choice for storage server... but not for 20€
@raynor Jim ?
Not for 20€ so how many ?
Alex, but you got right idea
I vote for it.
You can find HDD 1Tb RAIDx RAM 2Gb BW 1Gbps (shared) VPS storage for 5-7€ now and you can even host not large sites there. So double price for cool "bare-metal" word and we get 15€
Put another 2TB disk and price will be OK.
