I have this from their Black Friday deal for 27.57 euro with 1 Gbps port speed. They market their offering as an SSD disk but limit the I/O to 50 MB/s to all of their servers.

Already did. Tests with HDD from 2011 performs better than Time4VPS SSDs.
I don't know why people keep buying from Time 4 VPS.
Even before the acquisition they were terribly oversold to the extent they became one of the very few providers, whose VPS I didn't renew right after the first year.
Good marketing, this was marketed as a 40 GB SSD with 4 GB DDR4-2666 ECC and 8 TB Bandwith.
I think that's the right direction. You can certainly discuss the limits for SSD storage
, but I don't really care whether a benchmark shows 100 MB/s or 1000 MB/s if I only need 20 MB/s for my application. What is important to me is that the given performance is available at all times, so that a stable and constant operation of applications is possible.
