    I wonder how true those 120s setup times are.. I've never had servers delivered within 2 minutes. Usually half an hour or an hour.

    I've been waiting for the KS-2 for exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes now.

    This is not an order from the API, but just from the website.

    if it is really available and no one sniped it before, it is close. if you don't have to go through manual payment check, they provision it really fast.

    i ordered a B this month at 10:09 and it was ready for OS install at 10:16

    I've had them delivered in 5 ish minutes when the availability is high. What probably happened to you is that only a few (one?) server became available and they were bought quickly. The availability shown on the website is not exactly realtime so you were still able to order... but now you need a machine to actually exist to receive your server.
    Well I think.

    They just might be out of stock and you might have to wait till tomorrow to retrieve it. Gotta love that you can keep ordering even though it’s out of stock

    Yeah we'll see. Not in a hurry though, was just wondering.

    I got a KS-2 today within 4 min. ordered through the website.
    Unfortunately "just" 4x 2 TB.

    If anybody has a 4x4 TB KS-2 i would be happy to take it - and even pay some finders fee :D

    Has anyone used these budget OVH servers for anything production related? How's the uptime been? Ever had any hardware components die on you and if so, were they replaced quickly?

    Never really had any long downtimes. Never had a component die, I did get drives replaced and they got replaced within 30 minutes.

    Thanks for that feedback. Were the drives replaced as part of a upgrade or preventative maintenance?

    Some SSDs were waaaay over their TBW. I even got one 120GB SSD with a lot of TBW replaced by a 480GB SSD recently.

    OVH replaced the NVMe drive, although the process via the ticket system wasn’t the quickest.

    Why would it be, these are fine. You know that when they replace they don't look for disk that are healthier/younger? You may aswell get worst

    Haven't done a YABS yet.

    But I've got a better CPU, D-1541 instead of D-1540 and 4TB instead of 2TB.

    Edit: I also got 10Gbit download and 500Mbps upload. Download is more important for me so I'm pretty happy.

    They just replaced the HDD. The old one was a Seagate one and the rest was HGST. They replaced it with a HGST one with 32k hours on it, about the same as the other 3 HGST drives.

    They've removed KS-A from everywhere but Singapore. It's a relic, we need to resign it to history.

    I've been tweeting this to Octave for months. He never responds

    A quick experience. My KS Mystery has got two unexpected reboot that I ignored. Config: E-2288G, 2x1920 GB NVMe.
    At third time my server was not respond. The monitoring system detected the issue and OVH informed me about the replacement. They did it in a hour. Replaced the electric unit and the mobo. Works well, config as previous, everything is fine.

    Motherboard in my KS-LE-B died, too. Official explanation: "electric connector", whatever that is. :D About 2h downtime, can't complain too much.

  • SpaceCodeSpaceCode Member

    Very great that they got even those older specs still in stock so they could be replaced quickly. Unfortunately i didn't have that luck. I had to wait few days for hardware replacement since my board was also fried.

  • SashkaProSashkaPro Member

    I still got some mystery freezes (on mystery).
    The server stops responding.. No ping, no IPMI, nothing.
    Sometimes a hard reboot via the OVH panel works; sometimes it says "OVH interacts with your server," and they reboot via the power button. IDK.

    I have around 4-5 incidents, and in the tickets it says, "hey, we see that all is fine, please do some tests (cpu, memtool, disk)." And tests are passed without errors.
    So my tactic is to wait until the motherboard dies completely.
