Are you sure you know what you talking about. 1Gbit is just 120MByte. A single fast disks can deliver 180 MByte/sec and you have 4 of them even in small 1U servers.
If you mix GBit and GByte please rething your business.
Of did you talk about 10 GBit. Thats indeed hard to saturate with magnetic disks.

Like some others have said, start small and change servers and/or bandwidth allocation when the demand requires it.

I was not referring to the RAID card, I was referring to the RAID array, so your first paragraph is useless for the subject.
Is anyone here continuously streaming video at 1 Gbit/s using HDDs? I would like to hear from you, not just abstract talk.
Is anyone in this thread doing this?

Yes, we have customers doing this. We've also done a good amount of testing here. A decent single sata drive with a 512kb linux readahead set can do 40MB /s in a typical "tube site" workload (this is 320 megabit/s). We recommend 4 sata drives in raid with a 2MB raid stripe and 512k readahead to push a full 1gbps in a typical tube site workload. This is without caching. If you have "hot" videos and a good amount of ram, you will see better performance than these figures.

But they want you to stay way below the 100TB mark. They also do not allow CDN or Streaming and when you hit the 100TB included volumne you pay an insane US$ 150 per TB.
They also have that strange clause in the TOS that you must have to have an equal average baseline use. I understand their business reasons (they order the bandwidth from their carrier), but it is total against all reasons why to use a per volumne offer. Usually a TB/$ hoster should have enough spare bandwidth and customers to get the average TB price.
No thanks, 100 TB semes to be TB in name only.

Thanks a lot !
You guys gave me many things to think through
100TB.com is basically a SoftLayer re-seller if i'm not mistaken , guys in the forum gave me considerably better offers than them for softlayer *
I have been digging deep in all your posts for the entire week
Having looked at everything, there are 2 obvious options :
1.) LeaseWeb
2.) OVH
LeaseWeb advantages:
1.) great support
2.) great Asian+US connectivity
3.) stable , strong bandwidth
4.) Through resellers , hardware prices are only about 20% higher than on OVH
5.) No setup costs
6.) Reliable service with good english ( no accidental broken hardware etc', no excuses )
OVH advantages:
1.) DDoS protection
2.) Ridiculously cheap hardware ( 48TB SAS is actually affordable .. holy s*it )
3.) relatively cheap premium network - compared to leaseweb where any kind of premium connection for streaming is exponentially more expensive
4.) 120 second server installation times ( very important for CDN's )
5.) More resilient network infrastructure ( better cooled , lower CPU temperatures, doubled up fibers etc' )
6.) option to extend regular 1GBit servers to 3Gbit , would save time on installing new servers
7.) Nearly unlimited inner-network traffic ( 3Gbit gauranteed, not even counted towards total bandwidth .. thats insane )
What it comes down to is:
1.) Is the OVH network in the US , and worse connected countries , up to par with the LeaseWeb network? or will some areas in the US be getting 250kb/sec download speeds
In europe both seem to be able to fully saturate uplinks
2.) Lets say I choose LeaseWeb . is there any reasonable alternative to high-end hardware DDoS protection like whats given on OVH ? or is that a bad bet that would cost me?
File hosting services are attacked pretty damn often
( CloudFlare and other mitigation services .. any good ? do they even work for streaming fully-dynamic content ? )
I have offers on the table for both providers , whats my best bet?
what

I have not extensively used either LW or OVH but from what I have read here, I would recommend Leaseweb for a serious project. OVH seems to be something that I would not trust anything mission critical to unless you perhaps get their highest SLA package. OVH does have a North American DC, so English is not a problem. I also think Leaseweb has backend network, pretty much any provider will.

It's worth keeping in mind that OVH selected Quebec for their North American location because Quebec speaks French. I would assume there's a lot more people speaking English in Quebec than do so in their main location, France, but I wouldn't assume that simply because they're in NA that the English support will / will not be available.
