Have a storage vps and is good.

I think Serverica is the only provider not affected by current energy crisis!

They're close to several hydroelectric plants, probably fine for a while because of cheap power.

Not directly affected by Energy crisis but our main pain point is inflation

Our running cost went up 10% approx just due to inflation
For example we rent space and power from existing datacenter , the idea they handle the UPS , the generator , PDU and cooling, their invoice went up more than 8% in July due to inflation (this invoice include our rented space , power , cooling and all cross connects)
This invoice is a big chunk of our total cost

Add to that inflation affect everything else like shipping for hardware (shipping went almost 3x earlier this year but it is better now but still higher than before ) , salaries and many other small things here and there

But overall the increase on our cost is still manageable so we are not affected , I just hope this trend of 10% inflation per year will stop as it add up over time

Ironia

Since it's mentioned in the title but not in the post: Gorilla seems to be an upgraded version of Panda. Same storage, but more processing power and RAM.

nice..

This is nice, a version with more drives would also be interesting.

I really hope to see this deal around in the coming years. I don't need it now, but if google drive ever deadpools I will need 2 of these to store all my 0's and 1's.

I'd jump at $30/month for half the RAM on one, but only because of my own arbitrary psychological limit.

We plan to offer servers with 8x drives and 12x in the near future
but the disks will be less capacity as i dont think we will get many customers for 12x 16TB disks servers as it will be very expensive

willie

I was thinking more like 4x or maybe 6x, enough for raid-6 to not burn too much of the space. Although, borg backup to one or your storage vps might be an alternative.

yeah my initial plan was to use 8x or 12x 6tb or 8tb disks servers
for example with 6tb x 12 you get 72tb raw space

the beauty of those solutions is that the amount of IO is not bad as 12 spinning disks can generate good IO specially if you use caching to ssd or arc in zfs

I find the option of cheap dedicated servers with many disks almost not existing in the market for some reason

Meh. Had 2 different services with them. Both extremely slow response from ssh. Currently have 2 1/2 months to go on a 2TB storage plan that is barely usable.

thats not normal
did you open any tickets
if yes send me the ticket ids in private
or just open a ticket and ask to be moved to new server

I think people mostly want raw capacity. More drives = more rack space, more power consumption, more separate bits of hardware to fail, etc. Better to use large drives, but enough for raid 6. Whenever the Hetzner SX line is refreshed they always go to bigger drives.

I see this is interesting as the use case for users is different that us
For us we prefer to have large number of disks in the array and we intentionally dont use too big disks to keep rebuilding time manageable

Good that you pointed this , will make sure to have both options available in the future (large number of disks with lower capacity and smaller number of disks with high capacity )

willie

This being LES, I expect that for most of us, low cost dominates everything else.

I have two storage servers with them and I must say that they are very responsive even tough I beat the crap out of them and they are on the other side of the world from me.

I am the owner of servaRICA and I was trying to help identify the issue to fix it not sure what you mean here

Also we dont pay anybody to say positive things about us

we have been around for 10+ years and we rarely have any review exactly because we dont give intensives for reviews

Submitted a question to sales over a week ago, haven't gotten a reply yet. Hoping I get something soon, as these offers are really interesting

update me by pm or here of your ticket number or contact me directly with your question

mwt

I got the panda one. Lmk if you have any questions about it.

There's not much to say since it's a dedicated server. I haven't had downtime and there was a good selection of install images.
