Online.net Dedibox XC 2016 BIOS Bug?

2

Comments

  • mkln0mkln0 Member

    I'm getting around 65MB/s disk speeds on a XC 2016 sata. It's kind of slow, I'm also guessing it will be throttling the [average] download speed?

  • awvnxawvnx Member

    I don't see how SATA II vs III is an issue here since there's no way a cheap 7200 rpm drive can get anywhere close to saturating SATA II anyway. Perhaps they mean there's a bug in SATA in general that's slowing it down to 10% of what SATA II could achieve...

    65MB/s is around half of what I'd say is reasonable to expect. I usually get 170-180 on other sata servers.

    Any word on limited editions ?

    Some of the last dates were:

    18.03.2015
06.04.2015
29.09.2015
26.11.2015
25.02.2016

    So we might expect something very soon ;)

  • ChrisszzyyChrisszzyy Member

    Still being palmed off by support, no update yet despite them saying they were expecting a fix over a month ago.

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    Still nothing...

  • hawchawc Moderator, LIR

    @abermingham this, plus the network issues some XCs are having really isn't good. Any progress?

  • mehargagsmehargags Member

    As I prepare my mind to order a Dedibox XC 2016, Just want to know if this I/O bug is know resolved or is it still there ?

    This is my Dedi XC 2015

    Tested in the wrong directory.

  • xyzxyz Member

    ^ Thread is about the 2016 model, not 2015, but those speeds don't look like a disk (SSD or HDD). I'm guessing your /tmp partition is mounted as tmpfs or similar.

    Your right it was, oops.

    As to the models, I was aware, just thought it might be useful to have a data point from a 2015 model.

    My XC SSD 2016 in France, I will be ordering Amsterdam location later this month and we will see.

    Do they still install Samsung PM871 disks ? It was random in 2015 machines - many Intel models, Samsung etc.

    I would also prefer to understand what I read here. And he is right - This in an english forum. I don't bother you with my german too. ;-)

    @Amitz I know that, but when you talk german I will be kind and will tell you that in your profile not here.

    It's not that he was abusive. Maybe there was an edit, but I just see

    which is completely okay in my eyes. But I think we're wasting time here: One Love! <3

    I am not mean. I just want to be able to understand. This is an English forum and I will not going to start a conversation in Greek (no, it's indeed all Greek to me because I am Greek!). If people starts to use his own language here, then LET will become Babel's Tower...

    Ok, I got an XC 2016 within 2 mins of ordering... impressive.

    I did confirm them in a ticket before ordering about the BIOS bug and they confirmed it is resolved.

    Here are the tests... in full

    SAMSUNG MZ7LN256 | Revision: "100Q"

    fio averages out betw 150-170 MB/s

    dd averages out betw 180-220 MB/s

    Good Enough ??
    Any Tips to improve performance... I'm using Debian 8.5

    Secondly...

    What do you recommend for Virtualization on Debian ?

    Easiest of all to manage via GUI (minimal LXDE)

    XEN(XCP) vs. ProxMox vs. qemu-kvm vs. VirtualBox

    which one is easiest of all to manage?

    The port is not running properly (SATA II instead of SATA III) and offer lower performance that it should.

    SATA 2 has a maximum speed of 300 MB/s. That comes nowhere near explaining a drive running at 12.5 MB/s.

    Depends what kind of reads and writes you're doing. 12.5MB/s could be normal for a SATA II drive.

    mehargags said: Good Enough ??

    No. I've got the same SSD in a system without the BIOS problem, and those speeds are too low.

    Please check your smartctl:

    smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep SATA SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s)

    It's so annoying when you have a controller and an SSD drive which are 6.0 GB/s capable. It was working well in the 2015 XC SSD model. Is your drive new ?

    Mine was and now has 4546 Power on Hours with 97% MWI, so 3% used so far.

    So this was reported in April 2016 and it is still not fixed?
