SSD VPS

I've got some questions about VPS performance and mainly about disk performance. It's not uncommon for some budget VPS providers to offer an environment stored on a RAID array. RAID is great for data redundancy and increased disk speed but on a busy server your VPS performance can degrade to suboptimal levels. Detecting an oversold or overused VPS with disk problems is generally easy:
  • Saving a simple text file takes over 2 seconds
  • Starting disk intensive applications is extremely slow, at least two times slower than on a dedicated machine

Many VPS providers now offer SSD variants to overcome these problems. I'm currently testing a VPS from DirectVPS (https://www.directvps.nl/vps_ssd.plp) where disk activity was often the bottleneck on their regular line. So far, the results have been good but concrete benchmarks are missing. However, problems with extremely long disk writes are gone!
