SYS Black Friday offers
It would appear that SYS launched their Black Friday offers.
Available here: https://www.soyoustart.com/ie/essential-servers/
I'm not a big fan of OVH, but I must admit that lately, they know how to surprise us.
Beware, 20€ extra set-up fees, and OVH never displays it before the payment tunnel...
Comments
all the really cheap Essential servers are already out of stock
edit: or well now I see these were new ranges introduced recently and not part of the BF offer
So fast :P
And it’s a swerve from me, just not enough storage.
Those offers are valid for the entire contract duration, and not just for the first month, right?
Entire contract, yes.
Awesome, hoping they've got enough SYS-LE-4 in stock... I've ordered 70 so far and am hoping to snag a bunch more from Canada.
Dude, WTF.
I've ordered all "SYS-5-SSD-64" that they had in CA too (31 in stock) plus waiting on delivery for 40 odd still on those. We'll be swapping a lot of E5-1650/1630v3's with these systems.
If they have these in stock, Ideally I'd like to get another ~50-60 ordered ontop but I'm somewhat doubting how much stock they've got - so far 47 systems have been delivered from these LE-4's
Are you Netflix?
what for?
I run https://pebblehost.com
This cracked me up
Thats where hetzner shines
4x6TB for <40 Euros.
And the disks are just freshly raped dogshit
Lol. That is true. But raid0 helps a little. There is also an option to order 1TB SSD for like 7 Euros but I am not sure if its possible on 4x HDD servers.
I think the age of the drives was being referred to there, not their performance directly.
The server I have had for a little over two years has drives ~5.5 years old going by the SMART “power-on hours” counter.
And with old drives I would be even more wary of RAID0 than usual. Lose one drive, lose the whole array. Fine if it is something like a seed-box where the content can be quickly re-obtained after a catastrophic error but I'd not trust it for anything more important.
I'm hopeful we'll see a restock before the end of the sale as it appears that they've now run out of stock as well on the SYS-LE-4. Received 63 servers so far.
which one is better?
E5-1620 v2
64GB eec ram
2x480Gb SSD
500Mbps
$40
vs
i7-7700K
64GB DDR4 2133MHz
2x450GB NVME
500 Mbps
$46
Why go with them if Hetzner offers much better value for the money?
On USA not yet
Value for money is not the be-all and end-all. Some folks can't afford the cheapest Hetzner auction server, so this OVH/Kimsufi are great cheap alternatives.
In for a SYS-LE-4 if one person didn’t buy them all lol. Seriously no limits?
It's ok, you can just buy one from @dann00.
I know I’m always late to the party… but damn lol
I hadn't considered the location, thanks!
There'll be something for you this BF, friend - you just have to believe.
hey, I'm hoping for them to restock the servers too...
