[RARE] KS-2 incl. Gifts: D-1541, 10Gbps In, 4x 4TB drives, 10Gbps in<>out internal network

Member, Host Rep
Hello everyone!
Since I’ve come to the conclusion that this server no longer suits my needs, I’m offering the community a rare server that comes with 4 bonuses:
- CPU: Intel Xeon-D 1541 in reality vs. Intel Xeon-D 1540 as advertised
- Network: 10Gbps inbound [officially 300Mbps]
- Internal network: 10Gbps inbound/outbound within the OVH network (IPv6 only)
- Disks: 4TB each instead of the advertised 2TB each
Location: GRA, France
OVH account required: Europe
Renewal date: 1st November 2025
Renewal price: €26.99 + VAT (if applicable)
The disks have been replaced twice at my request, each time receiving 4TB drives again, so it's safe in that regard. (I was hoping for drives with lower lifetime usage, but I actually got some older ones than the originals.)
Asking price: €53.98 in crypto (USDC)

disk speed shown in the fio test is quite misleading if you ask me, shouldnt have used zfs cache
I didn't post YABS to show how good the disks are, but you're right.
The server has 64G RAM and most of it is ZFS cache but the expected performance depends on the RAID level and the fact that they are 7200rpm disks...
Nice deal... Unfortunately no use for it but sure someone else will give it the love it deserves!
Good stuff. I also loved my KS2-32GB 4x4TB... I would have kept until BF if I were you.
Does it comes with a ipmi console ?
Romanians really love crypto
Yeah, just checked and it has IPMI.
I remember that I ordered a few KS-2 in Germany in the past and there was a message like "IPMI/KVM not available for this server"
