This is for the storage drive -- used for data files ...not for OS install or App install
You are right.
That is why premium LET providers allocate a small NVMe drive for OS install + couple of Apps install
The storage drive is for keeping data files that will be used by Apps ... works perfectly for me with Windows Server 2022 OS
PS -- The OS as well as Apps are on the NVMe storage, Just the data files are on the storage server.
Yeah, just 10 minutes to load 60GB LLM from "Data" volume.
Please wait
yeah I know, I use this type of installation everywhere I have the storage machine and it's perfectly fine for all of my use case (mostly backup and media use case).
You really want to host LLM in some Lowend storage VPS? is storage VPS made for this purpose ?
Weren't we talking about your pc that is begging you to replace 2tb hdd with 2 tb ssd.
Purpose of running Windows RDP on it?
You guys can run whatever you want on yours, but there's common sense and word "storage".
See, you know what storage vps are for, and @dev_vps doesn't.
Probs pen and paper
I can't share my use case for using Windows RDP, but I definitely not plan to host LLM data files on any HDD based storage server
If you do not like anyone running Windows RDP on a storage server, that is not my problem.
Do not tag me if you do not know what I am using VPS for?
You are quick to pass any judgment on others, but you won't like it if I start doing the same for you.
You can make any assumptions that feel like, but that is your problem.
But please do not tag me.
What I don't like is people picking losing fights vs. the whole world that long ago stopped using hdd as a second drive "for data". Storage vps have hdds because you get more for less, it's not there to build your nostalgia pc from 2008 lol.
You've literally said what you are using it for above. And your "image vs. 999 words" shows that your system is suffocated by hdd lol.
where did I say LLM ... I use apps like winscp for ftp data transfer
Again you are making assumptions without knowing what I am using VPS for
Don't tell me it'll end up in you admitting there's no higher purpose and it's yet another media/backup server and you've picked a fight for nothing.
You are free to make any assumptions. I don’t care. that is your problem, not mine
Just don’t tag me
And my use case is
For many storage vps providers — just by installing Windows Server OS — even with few apps running the cpu usage goes through the high limits … that is not my experience with premium LET providers.
You can see the current active running apps on the taskbar. I do have other Windows apps installed on it.
Grabbed one, being lucky here. Thank you for the deal.
yabs:
So What is the current standard?
Everything on ssd, backup/media on hdd (or ssd too if money is not a problem) on a different machine.
MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I thought you'll tell something ground breaking.
It's simply case to case basis. I have some movies in my storage server and even if the HDD gets destroyed, I don't care much.
I'll rather have it on HDD than SSD because of my personal experience. Except samsung, many other SSD providers have disappointed me from time to time on consumer side
My 15 year old 1 TB HDD is still going strong (except the noise).
I'll never put everything on SSD if it's important.
It seems HOST-C will be holding a flash sale while I’m asleep. In other words, I’ll need to stay asleep and have a family member or someone else make the purchase on my behalf.
When this will be?
No, why. I've said right off the bat it's another pointless fight over obvious things.
I've lost 7 hdds over the years, yet my old 128GB sata ssds from intel and samsung (dating back to around 2012 if I recall correctly) are still running strong 24/7. So my mileage is different, I will never put anything important on hdd, at least without making 3 copies elsewhere.
4:00pm - ??:?? (GMT+3)
sometime this week
I will announce what we will do and when 24h prior.

installing WebMin control panel on 1 TB storage VPS
Hi, just wondering what you are up to with webmin and the storage vps?
I am currently idling this vps and still looking for some ideas to put it in a good use.
IDLE longer …..
Because I am a visual person and webmin allows me to perform many tasks on the VPS visually from a browser session,. Even SSH terminal.
