Damn, and I was considering checking out DO again specifically because of Linode's lack of block storage. Well, good timing. (Image)

I got turned off from Linode because of their repeated security breaches, their former high bandwidth charges, and their practice of 24h nullroutes at the slightest DDOS (that last took LET offline se

Linode was competitive and awesome 5/7 years ago. While their support and server performance is just great, they cant keep up with Vultr/DO and the likes.

It would be great if there was a storage server product like mnx.io's, which is $15/TB. mnx's SSD offers are comparable to Linode etc.

I'd say Linode is in the same subset as DO and maybe Vultr. But, if this Linode block storage offer is hybrid SSD/HDD, then I think it's uncompetitive with DO's, which unless I'm mistaken is pure SSD

Now, I'm a Linode lover here, been their client for years (8+), but I do not think it's affordable for my use cases. It would get too expensive if I need a TB. That'd allow me to rent my own dedicated

That has been observed for a few years as you say, now that you have DO, Vultr, Linode, OVH, Hetzner and others firmly in that space now you can be sure that it's pulling more and more away from LET b

Linode list's they use both NVMe & HDD for the block storage. I suppose that means caching. This is surely defined as expensive if it isn't pure SSD, but then again Linode over all probably be

I really like Linode, but they seem to always be behind in the race of cloud providers... and they are practically the original cloud provider.

Oh, I thought it was introduced today. Haven't been following Linode as much recently. They seem to be falling behind.

Welcome to 2015, Linode!

Today Linode announced they're finally adding block storage to their lineup.

Hmm, seems the issue is back just as before. Really slow transfers from both Hetzner and DO Frankfurt to Linode Fremont. Clouvider remains super speedy.

I'm used to DO, VULTR, Linode billing, use first pay later

For a long time or a short time? You’ll need a dedicated core if it’s the former, and it isn’t gonna be $5. Even with the second option, you most likely can’t buy a vps at the price with good cpu and

Typical cores from Linode, Vultr, Conoha, Softlayer and DO score only only in the range of 2,500 points on Geekbench. Amazon AWS is better (3,300 points) and I used to be on it, but my instance became
