I picked this one up a couple daze ago, just now getting around to seeing what's up.

So far so good - thought I'd give a shout out to @key900 to say: :scream: Well played sir! Well played indeed.

Will post more notes as I gently probulate and configure over the next month or so (and this one will not be idling after that break-in period - it's going to be put to work)

heads up @cybertech - this one's clocking in at well over 9000! https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15201231

Single-Core score    Multi-Core score
3021                 10717

first glance at the NVMe: 1 GB/s sustained write speed

I have not yet configured the block storage

nor have I checked the network (though my other letboxen have been consistently pretty zippy on the 1 Gbit/s ports)

base model (with 1 Gbit/s port and 256 GB instead of 2 TB block storage) may still be available for $5.51 monthly ($15 quarterly / $50 yearly!) https://my.letbox.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=115

I souped mine up with 2 TB block storage and 2 Gbit/s because yolo (I got plans for this one) - fully loaded, it comes out to $12.51 per month

    I opted for Wishosting's 1.8TB box over the Letboxes since I cared more about the storage space & price than performance+storage+price but damn that looks like a killer deal.

    Cheap dedis are my drug, and I'm too far gone to turn back.

    It may be a great offer but I am not buying it. Literally, not as an expression....

    Thanks for the feedback :-)

    P.s base offer out of stock

    @CamoYoshi indeed it is a deal aficionado's delight, and with the upgrades it ticks (most) all the boxes for my project - hence my rush to post a half-assed first draft of a review to let people here know.

    @key900 has been doing this for a while - and has powered through some treacherous territory at Psychz LA (power outages etc bs) to come out the other side with A+B power and very nice storage offers. Now I'm getting a taste of the ram and CPU options too, plus the 2 Gbit/s port.

    tl;dr: thanks @key900 for helping me get over @HostDoc withdrawals - you deserve some LESbian appreciation :)

    Isn't it 2690v2? I'm eyeing N4 but have an existing with them due to expire in a few months :tongue:

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    How the hell is this even possible? Power alone would run me more.

    maybe Psychz owes @key900 a favor or two ...?

    EDIT:

    @vyas said: base offer out of stock

    @key900 has been bringing some great storage deals.

    I scooped some time ago a 2cpu / 2GB / 20GB NVMe + 3TB block storage / 5TB @ 1Gbps for $7/m.

    LetBox and HostHatch are my go to providers for storage offers. It's hard to find better offers.

    Got this as well a couple of days ago... thought it was out of stock since the offer was over a week ago already. I Let go of my older 2 TB service since I don't need that much storage currently and need some firepower as well for some small projects testing [and maybe block storage upgrade in the future]. Good shit. :+1:

    Folo

    Fear if losing out.... works both ways

    Buy = fear of losing money (summerhost) / hair (bad provider) / sleep (frau gets upset, off to the couch)...

    No buy = fear of losing out on deal.

    Edit: YOLO : You only live once. So might as well buy, but ..
