order 2.5TB 27.5 USD today, the hard drive is broken.. can’t access to the VPS at the moment. send a ticket but haven’t got any replies yet.
More or less same problem here :(
Same problem.
Same problem. Ordered on Fri 11/28. It was up for about 12 hours and then kaput. Opened support ticket. It two days for support to re-spin the VPS on a different node. Finally got a functional VPS Sun night (Phoenix/AZ). It is functional but slow; at times a simple vi seems to hang for a while before opening the file. But rsync from desktop to the VPS bandwidth speed is OK.
I also recently ordered one of their storage promos but the performance is so slow that it would probably take a week to even upload half of the storage. What good is 2TB storage if you can’t use it due to the poor performance. I regret signing up. It was a waste of $27. Definitely will not be renewing and I’d warn other people to stay clear too.
Wow, so I’m not the only one. Mine was on the busted host node as well, took a few days to get it back up, and while it’s now running, the disk performance is really odd. IOPS is a bit better than a HDD, but no where near what an SSD would provide. Transfer rates, especially at small block sizes, are terrible. Installed munin and when I saw the iowait and disk latency graphs I nearly fell over–it’s bad. The latency graph has autoscaled to units of _seconds_, not ms, not us! I wonder…surely they’re not using portable USB drives for the storage subsystem on these storage servers, are they?
I’ll probably go ahead and install zfs and see if ARC can cover up some of their sins, but I’m not at all sure I’ll be keeping this one. Maybe it really was too good to be true?
Update: After 3 days – the dedirock said “Unfortunately, the data cannot be recovered” and they ‘ve sent me a new server. However, it is the same IP and I still cann’t connect to it.
Update: got the new server, and everything is working so far. With 27.5USD (1 core, 2.5TB), I couldn’t complain more. However, that makes me wonder: does Dedicrock have a RAID for their drives? Unbelievable to see this incidents – first time in life to see VPS lose customer’s data due to hard drive failures.
