Chill! this is getting no where , why not let OP decide .
As i am mentioned here, just to clarify one thing. drServer does not have any rented or coloed assets with VolumeDrive nor Quadix.
I use Quadix for my shared hosting company , it is good ...
but at the end of the day, it's the people running the show that matters, agree?
Thought I'd chime in. Time to stop lurking
I've been using Quadix for the past few days and everything seems fine. The only issue I had as most do, the setup time.
Reason I bought was for storage and windows RDP to keep all my site backups(backup of backups) on it (easier for me).
Be glad the VD flew over you.
no idea what this has got to do with me but thanks for the illustration
If I say STD, know what that is? VD is the same thing.
Thanks a lot guys!
I'm using 2 server for busy site, very good server for this price
I had servers from Quadix.
Delivery took 10 days (not 1/2 Business days)
After delivery there was a problem with HDD
Support was like a chat. One question at a time and it was going on and on.
Only after Josh took interest in the case, things changed dramatically. everything fixed and started running smoothly.
To be fair: They did not bill me till problems are fixed. And I also received HW Raid upgrade free.
Using it to process lot's of data with a web crawler. Good performance so far. Slow response though.
I had a rough experience with VolumeDrive.. really rough. Took probably week or maybe a tad longer to get the server, network issues - got resolved - then the server went down, it was a pretty clean install so I don't know why/how it went down.
They offered to do an OS reinstall, agreed to it, then never heard back from them until I complained on here - and then I just wanted it canceled by that point. Headaches.. so many headaches.
I've had several servers with QuadIX. Only issue is long set up times. Support has been pretty good and Josh is incredibly kind and helps out whenever he can.
who have try with configure 4x1TB or 4x2TB (Raid-10) LSI Raid Card? How much IO you got?
Drive models?
Also depends on the RAID Card and if the drives attached to the raid are running at 3Gbps or 6Gbps.
I attempted to once, but when the delivery time was coming up to 5x the length stated I cancelled.
@clamhost they tell me use SATA3 and H700 LSI Card 512MB Cache.
"We use the Dell H700 raid cards, its based on an LSI card.The standard motherboard SATA is V2. If we install the LSI raid card, its SATA3 and the drives we use as well are SATA 3."
Look at the speeds I provided in my last reply you should get close to full speed not used the H700 as of yet so I cannot provide you exact speeds.
I started with software raid 10 - 4x1 Tb: the I/O was 46 mb/s
After HW raid+BBU upgrade the i/o improved to 250-300 mb/s
Can't find out why the SW raid sucked
Speed 'raid 10 - 4x1 Tb: the I/O was 46 mb/s' is normal if resync process still in progress.
^^This. Be patient, RAID can take a LONG time (many hours) to do the initial sync and any benchmarks will suck until that is complete. Make sure you are run tools that tell you the status of the RAID sync (e.g., Software RAID: mdadm, etc).
Hello,
CHeck your PM.
My buddy and I already ordered another box. It's up and running
Sure, But even after 48 hours?

Possible something wrong with HW RAID card and or HDD.
Check SMART statistics with smartctl if you can find how with the RAID card, sometimes drives that are dying will give low speed before they die!
