Someone already pointed out that DO's selling point are SSD drives.
Yet Linode's non-SSD drives seem to beat Digital Ocean's SSD drives "in just about every area and not by a small margin" (http://irj972.co.uk/articles/VPS-disk-perf-cont http://irj972.co.uk/articles/VPS-disk-perf-cont)
I don't know anything about OVH's performance - all I'm saying is that having SSD drives doesn't necessarily mean superb performance - there are other factors involved.
- vilda 13y agoThose tests smell fishy. If they use classic disks then typical average seek time is 8ms. Yet they measured 0,2ms which is ridiculous. My guess is that they used small virtual disks and measured page cache of the underlying host. 128MB limit for random read tests is also horribly wrong to make any conclusion.
