How much I/O should I get from this options?

Recently we have purchased a dedicated server with the OVH group in the US data center. Upon closer inspection to the server here is what we discovered:

https://us.ovhcloud.com/bare-metal/infra/infra-3/

model name : AMD EPYC 7371 16-Core Processor
stepping : 2
microcode : 0x8001250
cpu MHz : 2500.000

# lscpu | grep MHz
CPU MHz: 2500.000
CPU max MHz: 3100.0000
CPU min MHz: 2500.0000


https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/...#product-specs Speed of the CPU does appear to be 3.1 GHz however we have only been provisioned a server that is 2.5 GHz. Does this seem like an odd situation that we should raise it up to them or is this normal?

Hi,

With your experience,

1. For hosting sites(such as WordPress),
Will nvme ssd be much quicker than sata ssd ?

2. Will ssd with hardware raid card be much quicker than mdadm software raid ?

Hi,

I need a dedicated server and I found the following configs which are at same price:

E3-1245v5, 32GB RAM, SoftRAID 2x4TB SATA
E3-1245v5 , 32GB RAM, SoftRAID 2x450 GB NVME

I need storage space but at the same time I cannot compromise much on the speed.
I know that NVMe will be faster but the question is how much slower the SATA will be from the NVMe ?

Will it be very slow or somewhat slow ? Please clarify.

Thanks.

This is my first post on Web Hosting Talk Forum. I need your help. My server consists of 2 hard drives. 1TB x 2 SATA. In last week my server gets slow down and the data center noticed that I have an issue with my hard drive. They said " We are showing drive SDB is failing and will need to be replaced, " They asked me to take a backup and replace the hard drive immediately.

I have 2 hard drives and I have installed CentOS 7 with software RAID 1 ( Software RAID ). So now my question is do I need to restore the backup once we replace the hard drive. ? or is it syncing with RAID without any manual backup restoration ?

Hello,

I have been using 3108 RAID controllers with supermicro servers for a long time.
It works fine.

However, due to the increase in SSD performance, I was always aware that software RAID will probably be better in performance along with some filesystems such as ZFS having additional unique advantages.
So I am finally considering making the leap from hardware RAID to software RAID, especially since NVME drives from what I know don't even have hardware RAID support.

In the past when connecting many drives I noticed I have to setup each signle drive as a RAID 0 through the RAID card, which I think would decrease performance.

So I have to questions regarding best method to connect 24 SSDs for software RAID?

1.
What is the standard way of connecting 24 SATA SSDs to a storage server and use each drive individually and/or setup as software raid?
From what I know a RAID card such as 3108 is usually needed to connect so many drives to the mainboard.

2.
How does 24 nvme drives work in Storage servers that support it? Does mainboard have shared PCIe lanes that are connected with the nvme drives?

Thank you.

Hello, i want to configure HP ProLiant DL360p G8 that support 4 x 3.5 Bay.
I think to install one SSD and 3 HDD. 1 TB SSD + 3 x 10 TB.
But what is about RAID system?
With RAID 0 all of 4 hard disk are combined and will the ssd have any effort? I want to install OS on ssd so that it will be faster but on RAId 0 does it work so?
With another RAID system i cannot use all DATA of this 10 TB, is it right yes?

Is it generally possible to configure 1 TB SSD + 3 x 10 TB so that OS is running on SSD and i have also 30 TB space?

Thank you

an guy providing me hetzner dedicated server at 6800INR ( 76.91 EURO ) ( 93.22 USD )
here is configuration :-
-Intel Xeon E3-1275v5 (3.8 ghz,boostable upto 4.5 ghz) (8 threads)
-ipv4 1 ip
-ipv6 (/64 subnet)
-Ram: 64 GB(ECC DDR4)
-Storage: 2x 512 GB high speed NVME SSD(m.2) (700mbps - 1.5gbps) (software raid included)
Port speed: dedicated 1GBps(unmetered)
- NIC 1 Gbit - Intel I210 (network controller)
Location :- Germany

i want the same server from hetzner directly. i searched in server auction but NIC is I219 did not find I210
anyone could tell is I219 is better than I210 or not? i am newbie
and the configuration he sent same config is available in hetzner or not?
and that guy said he have rack from hetzner, what about it??

i am asking in forum because i can get more knowledge and explaination here

please share your replies.

So I've run into a little issue with a build I'm working on and I have a few questions. I'm going to be working with a proxmox cluster running NFS storage for nexcloud instances because its a personal home server ill be using the mobo Tuf-Gaming B550-Plus with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor.

I'm going to install proxmox on a NVMe SSD drive and as well add 6x4TB SAS drives for the storage.

Now my question is the mobo has an onboard raid card but after reading a few guides I see a lot of them saying don't use raid arrays use the NFS settings in proxmox to combine the storage any other options available for storage with proxmox?

Would this be possible without a raid card? If not which raid card do I need? Would onboard raid support 4TB SAS drives? I've been scouring google for the last couple days but not coming up with anything significant that would help me finish off the build.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

So, I'm looking for a big server to migrate my old server from OVH. Seems like Im taking the most powerful AX server (https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161) or maybe the second most powerful Dell Server (https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/dell/dx181) (both with AMD EPYC 7502P, but Im wondering whats the difference between those options. In Dell I can Install 2 more disk than the AX servers, that the only difference, but I read that Dell Server have an special RAID hardware. Is this price efficient? Does the ax161 server comes with any kind of RAID installation?

I want to do a RAID-1 configuration.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new server for my web hosting company and really interested in Vultr HF 12cores CPU vs Vultr Bare Metal 8cores/16 threads @3.7GHZ.

I have always used their VPS and have been happy with it so far, from RAM/ storage + internet speed pov, it seems Vultr Bare metal provides better value compared to their HF lineup.

Would 8 cores dedicated CPU outperformance a 12 cores vcpu? for web hosting? Assuming both hosting the same amount/ type of wordpress site?

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks everyone.
