Just to show you guy's how awesome this VPS is:
[root@oxygen ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=16k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 3.11278 seconds, 86.2 MB/s
Could you preform the test properly and then post the results? Everyone uses bs=64k
@miTgiB like this? :P

84.8MB/s? slow.
from a $30/year VPS.
+1 for Hostigation too!
Seems that you have no idea what is doing...
Now now children put away your penises before @aldryic takes out an eye.

My English isn't enough to understand that phrase, but I am afraid of something gay xD
IF you ever need anything let me know, we can give you more disk space possibly
@yomero Lol It's true, IDK what the hell those commands even mean, I am a n00b at this. Could you explain?
@Francisco how about you put your's away so you can create more stock for BuyVM? LOL. JK :P
Ok, you are doing a linear disk test
Copying from a virtual file called /dev/zero which just throws 0x00 chars in hex (I am right?)
Copying to a file in your disk called test
In blocks of 64KB each one.
Copying 16k blocks, so 16000 blocks (of 64KB, due to the previous parameter).
There are different ways how the Input/Output subsystem writes the data. In poarticular dd can do several things:
With this flag you are using the 2nd method, so dd writes, flushes the cache and at the end it shows the time used to write the data and how fast did it (Megabytes per second).
Hope is clear.
And hope you are not being sarcastic.
@yomero thanks, and no, I was not being sarcastic. Thanks for clearing this up for me!
Yes, thank you, and 84MB/sec is respectable.
