    Very happy with all three services. All are being used to host several sites. So these are not idle and fresh-install numbers.

  • This seems to work better for SSD Cached
    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=8k count=128k conv=fdatasync; unlink test

    LSI Cachecade wont cache blocks larger than 8K I think.

    I think anything below 100 is unacceptable. I don't buy unless it's ssd cached or better now xD

    Maybe in e-peen land, but in the real world, anything over 30MB/s is perfectly fine.

    I completely agree, i notice no lag above 30 MB/s, at 20 it does at time and at high db activity (high for me, moderate for others). At 10 is visible even at apt-get dist-upgrade... Below that, i only had at home on CF card :)

    Or on Host1Free, but even then my asterisk install worked ok. So I guess DD is not the be all and end all :-)

    @Dylan, if you are on a very low plan, you need to tweak sysctl because it gets out of ram.
    It may work if the VPS is empty (I see you have a xen plan), but as memory fills the speed will degrade.
    This does not mean the disk is slower it means the dd itself has issues due to low ram available. I will double your ram temporarely, reboot and try again :)

    @Maounique
    The try above was on an empty VPS, but I just realized something was different from when I first got it: I was using CentOS this time and Ubuntu before.

    On a new Ubuntu 12.04 install it gets about 632 MB/s, on Debian 7 980 MB\s, and going back to CentOS 6 358 MB/s. None quite as fast as when I first signed up but apparently there are some very different default sysctl settings!

    It's a dmraid, I'm not sure how to check...
