Someone who knows, please clarify something for me. I got a SYS 1 Dedicated Server with 128GB RAM and a 512GB NVMe. If the space becomes insufficient in the future, can I request OVH to add an additional disk?
Or
Can I switch to HDDs instead for the same price today?
Your only option is to cancel the current server and buy a new one with more diskspace.
No you cant do any of that, these server are fix, you need to order a new one if you need more space or anything
Thank you very much. I know that Kimsufi machines are said to be over 10 years old, and SYS ones are around 5–7 years old. But some people say that Kimsufi is problematic and that SYS is better. Is there really a difference between the two?
Right now, I have two Kimsufi servers. On the rare occasions they went down, the team restored them within 30 minutes. I've been using them for about 4 months now, and I haven't noticed any issues with the Kimsufi servers.
Kimsufi or Sys or ovh.. they are same support, same guyz. As long as the spec and server fit your need, don't bother the rest. Assume no support for real.
Define problematic? I have had both and never really had any issue, the only times I requested hardware replacement it was done in the next hour
any YABS coming up for SYS-LE-3?
My SYS-LE-3 just got provisioned - I'll probably just keep it tbf, but oh well.
w/ 4x12 TB drives.
it may be nicer with duplex 10Gbps
Mine is not delivered yet, which is good they are looking for a lottery
If I understand correctly, then @eromdels paid his invoice later than @wuck but received the order faster.
Anyway, @eromdels, congrats on 10G DL. IMO for some use cases not bad at all.
Still not a bad machine, even if no lottery.
It looks like people are buying the SYS-LE-1's, the stock is decreasing on the API.
Did all these people not get @allthemtings's memo that this CPU is shiiiiiiiiit?
How long does it usually take to replace the SSD? I’ve got a kimsufi one with 90k hours and 251TB writes (specs say rated for 60TB TBW). I opened a ticket exactly 3 hours ago.
Today grabbed ks-2 (4x2t with ancient cpu) in Germany.
No lotto at all except 10g down (and 300up).
Trying to refund.
Politely asked in ticket, support created invoice for refund, now in status validating.
Should I terminate server first or they will do this for me?
Usually not that long, but they may refuse to do it if the SMART data don't show any defect. If they do however replace the drive, assuming it's a KS-B or C, with the small SATA 2.6 SSD, chances are that they will replace it with another old one.
They have a script which catches unpaid servers and suspends them, it should catch yours.
My refunded KS-C that hasn't been terminated for more than a month suggests you don't terminate it.
It’s a KS-B with a 160GB Intel series 320 SSD. From 2011 I think.
You should do an API request it's faster than waiting for ticket etc
How can I do that? Can only find ordering via the API.
Found it. It created a new ticket though, but it automatically went to “resolved”?
I had no problem replacing the disks due to the TBW.
Do you get the same model drive? Is it even brand new? I don't even think they make those kind of drives any more. You'd assume they'd replace it with a 480GB one.
You dont get new, it might have low usage but not new and always same model as far as I know
The same model, used, similar Power Hours but low TBW, 0-2%
Hopefully they will replace it soon then. I don’t care if it’s the same model and age but the TBW is just too high on this one.
They replaced it with a 240GB SSD with 144TBW. Model INTEL SSDSC2BB240G4 which has a rating of 140TBW.
Seems like another request has to be made
Replaced with another 240GB, 55TBW, I’m happy with that.
Don't bother with KS-B/KS-C... None of their replacement are favoring. Either you cancel or terminate at the end of the contract. Not worth 9.9 EUR for such a machine with old disk and memory issues
These little Kimsufi may become more interesting if they are really running out of these 120GB SSDs and start replacing with bigger ones.
Well an upgrade from 160GB to 240GB is in my favor.
Machine isn’t used for anything heavy so its a good cheap server for me.
I used to have the KS-LE-B, but had to let it go due to some private stuff. Kinda regret it but didn’t have the use for such a powerfull machine anyway.
Prepaid the current KS-B for 6 months yesterday.
Welcome, colleague!
