    Seem a tad bit on the lower end

  • Debian

  • Slower than spinning rust

  • plumbergplumberg Veteran, Megathread Squad

    What provider? No, definitely not for name and shame. Feel free to dm.

  • That's slower than even typical VPS spinning drives.

    Thanked by 1lala_th
  • If that's the correct product name, checking online it lacks a DRAM, so that would seem to be why. But the 1M/s seem low.

    Thanked by 1lala_th
  • Well, this is a very know provider here in the community, however, I'm not going to name it or tag the provider.

    However, after providing them with multiple tests, their final reply:

    After running some tests on your system the speeds you're getting are completely normal for this NVMe drives, you can use your second drive as that is not being used by anything and with that you should see more improvements.

    Unfortunately we’re not able to replace this drives as they’re operating as expected as > previously discussed.

    If there’s anything else we can help you with, don’t hesitate in reaching out to us.

  • From Canada?

  • Based on the hostname alone and doing a little low end detective work (pasting hostname in google search) you can check the provider in question

    Even without the DRAM it should have full read speed and maybe a bit slower write speeds when the drive gets more full / the SLC write cache is exhausted.

    I'd say this is waaaaaaay too slow and there has to be something wrong.

    SNVS2000G is not exactly a top of the line, but faster than SATA.

    Maybe somehow during your tests you've exhausted the SLC cache. The NV series likely have QLC NAND.

  • Referencing www[.]harddrivebenchmark[.]net/hdd.php?hdd=KINGSTON SNVS2000G

    I agree Rubben, though as CyberneticTitan mentioned, it could've exhausted cache. Also this one seems to be QLC NAND, which from my expierience doing dd block-by-block would slow down to ~20MB/s on Micron QLC NAND.

    This drive is notebook grade.

    To be honest between 2 VPS, the latter one has slower disk speeds even it's NVMe, I will file a ticket about this, just to see what they say.

    I asked this and the answer I got was:

    KVM-NVME-2GB-RY is a Ryzen node: less cores, less ram, less diskspace: so less disks

    NVME-4GB-BF24 is Epyc node: loads of cores, loads of ram, loads of diskspace: thus loads of disks

    The more disks in the RAID configuration the better the speeds...

    Which makes sense

    This is SSD speeds from my LE-1 on OVH. So my SSD speed is faster than your NVMe :D

    fio Disk Speed Tests (Mixed R/W 50/50) (Partition /dev/md2):

    Block Size 4k (IOPS) 64k (IOPS)
    Read 189.74 MB/s (47.4k) 277.25 MB/s (4.3k)
    Write 190.24 MB/s (47.5k) 278.71 MB/s (4.3k)
    Total 379.98 MB/s (94.9k) 555.97 MB/s (8.6k)
    Block Size 512k (IOPS) 1m (IOPS)
    ------ --- ---- ---- ----
    Read 236.17 MB/s (461) 253.00 MB/s (247)

    Total 484.89 MB/s (946) 522.84 MB/s (510)

    It's on SCSI with Raid1

    No, this is slower than a regular machine's hard drive speed, which is usually above 1GB/s.

    I agree Rubben, though as CyberneticTitan mentioned, it could've exhausted cache. Also this one seems to be QLC NAND, which from my expierience doing dd block-by-block would slow down to ~20MB/s on Micron QLC NAND.

    This drive is notebook grade.

    Agreed, directly writing to QLC is insanely slow. However, the write cache being exhausted should not slow down read speed. So it's fishy either way.
