Here is transfer speed from one of my RackShack's servers: weekly average of 5.5 Mbps (i.e. more than 50 GB a day or >1500 GB a month). Anyone to beat it?

saburovo.com/usage.php?server_ip=64.246.6.22

Looking at the spikes in the graph, I think the server can do more. This traffic, by the way, created by one site - download.dragonbfp.com.

So how much do you have to pay for greater than 1500 gigs of bw?

We have a customer who pushes out 20-30 Mbps out of their one boxes (Dell Poweredge 900 w/ 256 MB RAM & W2K) :)

But I am a smart fellow ;) I move the download part of the site from one server to another. Of 28 servers I have with RS 5 are not resold at the moment, so I still have some flexibility.

This 5.5mbps is weekly? So, 22mbps/mo ... Not bad at all :)

On the other hand, I would not give my IPs of all my servers to the public ... That's not such a good decision ;)

cheers,

No. mbps=mega bits per second so its a rate it doesn't accumulate. so thats still 5.5mbps weekly, or per second still.

I think he is referring to other discussions on WHT about IDE vs SCSI, and how your server proves that IDE is just as able as SCSI.

Heh, It used to pump out a constant 65Mbits before I capped it. And that's just one machine. I have others that pump out 10-20Mbits. (also capped)
