how long did it take for them to reply and swap the disk ?
15 minutes for the first at RBX, and like 30-45 minutes for the two at GRA. I was pretty impressed, this is not the OVH I knew lol
So, pretty new for KS then!
I am a fan of old errorless disks. If I were to cold store something, I choose those (HDD not SSD, obviously).
That means they are solid and all hidden defects should have manifested long ago.
i use idle cpu resource to run https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ ,which you can donate you cpu resource to some meanful project like COVID-19 research,Africa Rainfall simulations,Tuberculosis,Mapping Cancer Markers and Smash Childhood Cancer
KS is good do not think it its cheap then you can't use it for production works.
i m using ks from last 6 years for websites but yes i do database backups daily and full backups weekly to another server.
I use mine as seedboxes.
It's possible to earn from that ?
If I use only private trackers is it allowed on OVH servers? I don't want to lose my ks-le-1 so I don't started torrent on it yet. Because the UDP traffic what is the maximal speed that acceptable for the DDoS protection?
Yes, and how will they find out? Just never use public trackers.
I know that they can not determine it, and in my country torrenting is allowed (OK, not allowed, only accepted), but I'm thinking on that can cause any problem if I do it from France. From another aspect, if I download from private tracker (that requires registration and do not use DHT etc.), can I torrenting on netcup or Contabo without termination or problem with the local law?
It seems you were really lucky then ... :-) Ticket opened> @Val said:
I was not as fortunate: it took quite some time for them to reply ... my HDD was replaced meanwhile with ... another 2 TB model.... :-(
That's sad
Is it a new drive that you got it replaced with? Did you open the ticket from the new manager / eco OVHCloud?
I really must have done something differently to have gotten each 3 times and in two differents DC. Or it must because I'm French
Keep us updated how it goes for you @stoned
I never got a 4 tb disk, so it must be because you're French :P
it got replaced by a disk of 41000 hours (had 71000 hours before)
too bady: could have been worse ... that I got a 1TB disk instead :-)
they put @val 's old disks to your server...
Got a fourth KS-1, disk was replaced with another 2 TB that has even more hours

It was in GRA and I found out that my other three KS-1 were actually in RBX, so that's maybe more a DC thing that a French advantage
Probably they replace disk on consumer complain and send them for testing, when it passes test, it is then sent back to their horde of good disks from there again cycle is repeated unless disk is actually bad.
For @Val, you were certainly lucky.
Since we have discussion about KS here, how many actually got luck to have 1Gbps up KS ?
does anyone know how to get a KS-1 in RBX, not for above reason though.
Hopefully that, rather than throwing perfectly good disks into e-waste because of picky lowenders.
It is actually that, Hetzner also does that. They have a video about their operations.
It is very likely that OVH have a similar procedure not to waste perfectly working hardware. Maybe @ninzo59 could chime in?
May be @OVH_APAC can help with this.
Filerun guys can you tell me why i am uploding at the speed of 128kbps
i couldnt find the solution, rsync uses all the bandwith it can, but http, sftp cannot pass 150 kbps can it be an ssl problem? Miss configured php, apache2?
I run Proxmox Backup Server on a KS-1. Works great.
anyone tried owncloud infinite scale? They published the final today 😆👍
I installed bitwarden on a cheap 1.99 kidechere dedi from online.net
Wait..what.. I just got my 1 year old KS-1 1Gbps download speed..how weird is that?
Not weird. Enjoy
Definetely something weired is going on.
