New server is coming!!

[HongFire]

I checked the ovh.es but they not in English.

the Seagate HDD is mainly for OS and backups doesn't need to be fast. The 2 Veloci Raptor are for the site data they need to be fast because people are constantly requesting data from that HDD.

I've 1 Seagate NS at home and it sucked so bad. Super slow compare to the AS model. And I have a WD Raptor 80GB one that's been ruing since 1999 at home until now and still works perfectly. Also Veloci Raptor is the best for 10k RPM HDD in the market.

I am gonna rent 1 more backup server just for backups next month so that way we know that our datas are safe 110%.

The New server is already up and runing waiting for Shragei to config it and move everything there. So don't panic if you see the site comes up and down in the next few days when we moving stuff over.

I see what you are saying im spanish boy so im testing at time one of the lowest server here and its going really good.

how much will cost all this new server setup and the backup servers?

maybe you could mount a good platform with 2 apache / lighttpd / ngix frontend website and another good server with mysql for the same price .

Its difficult to take a good service with one server, cause as you said u need good I/O of disk and memory too ... but only one server is a very high load.

I work in a company of hosting in spain and we mount stuff like that (but ... i dont recommend my hosting company cause they are expensive xD).

So good luck with the new server setup

If u need any help i can help u

Since I'm not much of a computer techie, I wonder if a 10k RPM HDDs are compatible with Personal Computers as well or is it for Servers only?

[sailabc1]

Of course they are. But may die faster coz of speed.

[Vaan]

So how do you prevent it from dying faster? Do high rpm HDDs have long lifespan as well?

Is the new HF server running already?

[sailabc1]

You can't, just buy a lower RPM HDD Or put in a jumper that usually halves the transfer rate (or so the label on my HDD says).

The new one is probably up, but somehow today morning I haven't been getting much of a speed boost. There are ~4610 users online (620 + 3990).

Its depends of the I/O of the HD ... if you do a lot of Read And Write over the HD is logical that the life of the HD will be low.

The other factor is the temperature. Cause if u have a good temperature (enough cold) the life is better and the perfomance better too.

But ... its hard to let a 1 machine take all the comunity ... but the money is the big factor
