    Please do. I think in this day and age SSD should definitely be an default option, especially for applications such as database.





    The problem though is that Intel 520 uses SandForce...

    2 comments:

    1) Is it possible to offer SSD by default in other root servers? For example, EX60-SSD, EX10-SSD, etc.

    2) You mentioned you use Intel 520. It uses outdated Sandforce controller and...

    I second this proposal. It really makes no sense to force your users to use SATA by default. There's a huge demand for SSD (I wouldn't run my DB on anything else) and this is the way to go.

    Do you have the specs of this SSD such as read and write IOPS?
  5. Which SSD models do you use? How do they compared...

    Which SSD models do you use? How do they compared to the SSD you use for the EX line?

    Is Flexipack required to add options to this server (things like SSD, extra RAM, failover IP)?

    Now if only...

    For random IO SSD is faster and it's not even close.

    A RAID 10 of 4 7200rpm disks give you 150 - 200 IOPS

    A consumer grade SSD gives you 20,000 IOPS or more.

    An enterprise grade PCIe SSD...

    You can put 4TB RAM in a single server? That's very impressive!

    Which motherboard is that? How much would that cost?

    The same plan costs €49.99 in Europe, which is about $60 - http://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/superplan_mini.xml

    Now they're charging $80 for it? So they jacked up the price by 33%, eroding...

    Do you have a dedicated port?

    If not, you're sharing that 1Gbps connection with many other servers. That'd explain why you can't go higher than 240mbps

    It really depends on what you consider "server grade" SSD's.

    The vast majority of the SSD's offered by hosting companies (Intel 320, 520, Vortex 3, etc) are all made for the consumer market. True...

    5 petabytes is 40 petabits.

    That's 40,000,000 gigabits (per month presumably).

    That means an average throughput of 15.4gbps.

    Say your peak traffic is 3x your average. So you're looking at...

    Linux kernel added TRIM support to software RAID recently:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/11/261

    I haven't tried it. If you do try it would love to hear about your experience.

    RAM is not expensive, you're just looking at expensive hosts.

    You can get an entire server with 64GB RAM for less than $120 per month at Hetzner.
  14. OVH to dedicated servers is like Amazon to books...

    OVH to dedicated servers is like Amazon to books or Walmart to general merchandise, it's going to make the US market a lot more competitive.
  15. It depends on the situation. Do you have...

    It depends on the situation.

    Do you have enough RAM that you're running your entire database and files out of memory? If so then having an SSD might not be very important.

    On the other hand if...
  16. You are confused by the meaning of the term...

    You are confused by the meaning of the term dedicated.

    If the entire 1Gbps is dedicated to you then there is nothing to be metered. You can use the entire 1Gbps for as long as you want. That's...
  17. Wrong. Dedicated means you have that bandwidth...

    Wrong. Dedicated means you have that bandwidth all to yourself all the time.

    If you're going to play that "limited" game you can set any price you want. Here: I'll sell you "dedicated 1Gbps" for...

    None of that is dedicated port.

    Dedicated port means 1Gbps 24/7

    Yeah, no.

    Bursting at 49MB/s (which is about 400Mbps) for 2 seconds is completely different from pumping at 1Gbps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which is what a dedicated 1Gbps port will give...
  20. Unless you have a dedicated 1Gbps port, which...

    Unless you have a dedicated 1Gbps port, which costs at least $1000 per month, you're not going to get anywhere close to 1Gbps connection speed.
  21. Not even close. A 15k SAS gives you 200 IOPS....

    Not even close.

    A 15k SAS gives you 200 IOPS.

    An SSD gives you 20K IOPS or more. That's over 100 times faster than a 15k SAS.
  22. Absolutely not. The disk system of that server...

    Absolutely not.

    The disk system of that server is terrible. You're talking about 100 IOPS top. You'll be lucky to put more than 4 VPS on that server.

    Also, a single quad core CPU from 3...

    Your database size is 150MB, which is extremely tiny. In all likelihood your entire data set is in memory, in which case SSD wouldn't make any difference as long as you're not write heavy

    Yup. You're more likely to have problems with a RAID card than an SSD.

    I use 320 on software RAID 1. With SSD I stay away from hardware RAID because of the TRIM issue
