Hello @Yachiyo,
How are you? Wow, thank you very much for that, A Quintuple-DediRock Offender™, I greatly appreciate that. To give more information on the incident being discussed in this thread. What had unfortunately happened was a unique situation where both a HD failed and then the RAID card failed very close to one another, and unfortunately customers did experience data loss. Since then, we have only had a few incidents, most of which we were able to swap out failed HDs with no data loss, so we feel well seasoned and prepared moving forward to make sure the service is awesome and stable.
Thank you very much for your support!

Hello @DejavuMoe,
Very sorry about the previous data loss, I know that it is never fun.
Thank you very much for the compliment and your communication, it is greatly appreciated.
We are definitely working hard to make sure we continue offering great service at awesome prices, thanks again for your support!
Thanks!

Hey @ShalaWorks yep you bet!
Hello @jsg,
Hey man, how are you? Thank you very much for your comment here and viewpoint. You mentioned some great hosts for sure, I am always looking to improve the service and take reviews into account, thank you again for your communication. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thank you!!
Oh gosh™
You were running everything in RAID0 then now RAID5???? Isn't RAID5 way slower, like 10x slower?
Hey @aubree,
How are you? There is definitely a trade off when going from 0 to 5, however I do plan on doing products again with 0 as a clear option. Some customers are not so much focused on the redundancy and would rather have more speed. Always a balance
Thanks for writing in, have a great rest of your weekend.
Thanks!
So customers have the option of Raid0 vs RAID5? do they know its completly at risk when its raid0? how many drives are in the array? With raid0 1 bad drive wipes out the entire array doesn't it? so more drives makes it exponentially more dangerous.
I've been in the industry for a while and never heard of a provider offering raid0 on anything. Even just JBOD is extremely dangerous
RAID1 should be minimum raid level when using two disks.
Hey @tux,
How are you man? Yeah, that is a good point on that. So on ours for the most part we have 4 disks that are 14 TB each, seems like it does provide enough redundancy while maximizing the usable space.
Thanks
Real Men Don't Need Backups 🗿
lol
True, but this was already a back-up usage case scenario.
Shit can happen to everyone, but it all depends on how precious your data really are.
It is like an insurance policy, the higher the value, the more you have to invest to insure it.
I have multiple back-up levels for my most important data, from family photos to crypto wallets, and that includes online storage (kimsufis and assimilated), local backup AND local cold storage in 3 places.
That being said, managing this kind of system is time consuming, also not fool-proof. I wiped some backups by mistake thinking I am in another server, but the other copies survived, so never have a SPoF except for what would be way too complicated/expensive to backup very frequently, i.e. I can live with 24 hours of work lost.
4 x 14 TB in what RAID configuration?
Any providers does RAID10/RAID1 for storage VPS?
https://my.host-c.com/store/raid-10-vps-storage-fleet-omr-romania
All of those are raid 10 out of 24/26 disks / node.
They lost your data?????
This @DediRock guy must be using some cheap AI for these replies, what the fuck is this LMAO
100% Their entire system seems like this. I don't think they have any real support. I submitted a ticket looking at their services and they couldn't answer basic questions.
I'm shocked they don't have RAID or backups or anything.. Some corners shouldn't ever be cut.
Hey @marventanire,
How are you man? Yeah, unfortunately, we did have some issues with some of our storage nodes. The challenges are mostly handled, it took a bit to get them all settled, but things are rolling now. All but one server has been upgraded (last one still in progress), to RAID-5 or RAID-6
Hey @drizbo
lol def a human here responding
But I understand your viewpoint.
Thx

Hey @marventanire
Sorry for any trouble caused, I will def DM you. I would like to get the ticket number so I can help man. Also the good news is all Storage Nodes (well except for one) are now RAID-5 & RAID-6. Have a good evening man, talk to you soon.

Thanks!
You were running production servers without RAID or any redundancy or backups? Customers were getting JBOD performance and now only RAID5/6?
RAID5/6 on NVME is like spinning disk performance. Everyone else runs RAID1 or CEPH
I don't think there was any false advertising. People buying cheap should do their homework
They buy based on all YABS reviews and then find out they had no RAID and now 5x as slow.... if they're lucky?
Is it normal for providers on here to skip RAID entirely and just go raw?
Normal for them to convert to very slow performance without telling people?
Are they the next summerhost deadpool?
There is nothing like some kind of LET host standard, so that question can't be answered but as has been said before people should be aware that low prices regularly aren't just the result of magic and that might very well mean that some bottom of the barrel provider doesn't choose your favorite type of RAID but i have good news: You aren't forced to stay with a host forever. There's this crazy thing called canceling.
Geez, for someone speaking the local language you ask some pretty silly stuff.
