hello
first off im looking to move a huge amount of data
I already have 2 servers with 1Gbps ports
and id like to try 10 (or more if posible) got to be Unmetered
I also need to do a lot of Rar work and I hear SSD drives really speed that up

I like to set things and forget them for a few hours so ill need a lot of storage space

im willing to go upto about $300
but im thinking shared would be a lot cheaper

im going beyond what I know here and would like to test the actual results before spending all my $ on it

O I would also prefer a server in the NL if possible
had one there before and loved it (just a 1Gbps though)
 
Well 10Gbps is an impractical requirement. If you're moving a lot of data, you can only really use 10Gbit if the server you're moving it FROM has hardware and network capacity to burst 10Gbit. 10Gbit one way downloading from hardware/network that can only go up to 1Gbit is a complete waste of money.

SSD drives are good, but only if you REALLY need that kind of speed. Most people do well with your regular SATA3 drives. So unless you've actually researched into your needs and found SATA3 to be slow for your use, you're talking about wasting money on SSDs; they are expensive, and the amount of space you get is low for the price you pay.

EDIT: In any case, the only provider I can think of that would be able to give you an SSD w/ 10GBit at the budget you have is OVH. Most providers cannot realistically do 10Gbit because of the upfront costs of commits that they need to pay. More so considering the fact that the end customer will most likely not really use the 10Gbit ever. Or if they do, in very short bursts and sparingly.
 
I plan to upload mostly to RS and then remote out of them
though it would be nice to upload directly to NL, RG, & BS

and im spending more time RARing then uploading as it is
but I am concerned about SSD being to small for my needs

my main server at the moment has 4TB of space and a 1Gbps line
and costing me about $250

hmmmm say wouldn't a 10Gbps port mean I could send more sreems at higher speed to maximize things
like send to more then one file host at once
or posibly even download at the same time


just day dreaming here but
what about putting the operating system in an SSD drive (say about 10-20GB)
then add some regular but fast drives for storage

Maybe exmasters.com and webintellects.com servers will be fine for your needs, the OP.
Their servers are stable and prices are affordable.
 
I'd recommend you to use 1paket company.
They provide stable servers and their prices are not high.

thanks anyway but I got one a few days ago
8 cores
24GB of ram
80GB SSD
6TB of disk storage
10GBPS unlimited
$450

Did you try setting 0 compression when creating archives, that will speed things up a lot.

thinking of RAR ?
yea I always reduce it to store
I also setup a ram drive on the server and have RAR using it
about triples the Raring speed
and about 4 times faster downloading to
still not getting anywhere near the 10,000GBps though (about 160MBs)
still fantastic though and uploading is about 210MBs

the DC made a mistake and one of my Disks is not active (should be fixed soon)
then ill stripe them and I expect that to speed things up some to
no mater how fast the connection sooner or later that data has to be handled by the HD
 
a reseller on OVH
he PM'd me

and yes I know OVH Don't offer unlimited on 10TB
I had assumed he just got a big bunch of bandwidth and expected id never use it all
but he just had me connect to him in teem-viewer and showed me his account setup with OVH
and it is marked as unlimited
he said he has a "relatiomship" with them and it's not avalible for most resellers
and asked me not to use his name

all I can say is im loving the speed
and more-so the freedom to use it as much as I like
 
It may be showing as unlimited on the OVH panel. But if you abuse the B/W with lots of UP/Down OVH will find out that and screw your reseller with a very big B/W overage billing ( more chances if he is using server from OVH France Division)
 
Not sure if you're naive to believe that or your reseller is naive; or if he's bullshitting you so you actually pay him the money you are paying him.

But yeah, watch out for a nice bandwidth bill if you're gonna hit anything above 40TB in a given month. If not you, he sure will get that bill.

OVH, by default, marks everyone as 'unlimited'. It's the fine print that matters.

that hapened to my last host
just the other day infact

I joined more then a month ago
was told it was 100MBPS unlimated
but it was actually a 1GBPS port
I told him many times I was getting a lot more then 100MBPS
but he never said anything in responce to that part of my emails (must have traded 50 emails)
but he never addressed the bandwidth
well a few days ago he got a $270 bill from them for overiges

I dono what DC he was with though
and that was really more of a mistake on there end then his

this new guy said he has a relationship
and he knows all about what happened to the other guy
all I can do is hope he is right and can handle the bandwidth
at the moment im vary much enjoying myself

that's scarry
hmm I was reading somewhere the other day (looked at SO MANY)
they call it unlimited but if you use more then the paid for bandwidth then they slow you down to 10MBPS
so that would not be getting a surprise bill
though it would really piss me off

but that may not have even been OVH
and come to think of it I can't even read there site hehehe
so unless it was someone else talking about them
O I dono
having fun for now anyway

Well yeah, no one really has a 'relationship' with OVH where they can get unlimited bandwidth on a 10GBit port. More so considering they already price their bandwidth quite cheap at 1 euro/tb. They won't go any cheaper unless you're a very large customer. And this reseller, I doubt, is a 'large' customer (by large, I mean very large).
 
well as you say "1 euro/tb" is vary cheap
I couldn't aford to help that other guy out $270
but id have to use a hell of a lot to get vary high in overiges at "1 euro/tb"
but he seems pretty sure he is safe
