  1. That was a good read! I’ve always admired how letbox managed to become the king of storage through their dual nvme/HDD setup at a low price in LA :)

    letbox support and business practice has been very shady; VPS renewal after 1 year; they deleted my original 250GB block storage with all of its data without warning and it made it 128GB; ticket support has bad communication and grammar
