Hosts spam me... 4 x 1TB hotswap, unmanaged
 

This is what I need...

- 4 x 1TB drives in a hotswap chassis (MUST be able to replace a failed drive without powering off)
- preferably not Seagate brand, but this is not necessarily a deal breaker
- no hardware RAID required, I use software mirroring
- 4GB RAM
- low to mid level dual core CPU (grunt isn't really that important)
- 2000GB transfer per month
- FreeBSD 7.x 32 bit
- unmanaged

Post your quotes here. Thanks. :thumbsup

1.8ghz amd quadcore expandable to dual quadcores
4 gigs ram expandable to 16 gigs ram per cpu
4 1tb hd's expandable to 6 hd's
$250 a month

hit me up on icq if interested

see my sig mate

Bump

Got my eye on a particular server but I'm interested to hear of any other offers

New tube launch?

With 2TB transfer a month? :Graucho :helpme

Pretty sweet :thumbsup

Core2Duo e5300 (2.6ghz)
4GB DDR2-800 RAM
4x1TB 7.2K Western Digital SATA (hot-swappable)
2x1000mbps NIC

with:

Remote Reboot
2000GB/mo Transfer
FreeBSD 7.x 32-bit
Unmanaged

All BRAND NEW fully warrantied hardware and ALL for $235/mo + $0 setup!

One more bump

I would have thought more hosts would have replied, it's not like I'm after a $50 pentium 4...

I use http://colo-cation.com/

and I love them

90% of servers racked probably are not hotswapable.

you would be suprised how many low end servers sell compared to higher end hardware.

Don't think so with 2000gb bw in a month, mor elike loads and loads of text pages.

Close... 250GB+ of compressed profile data, backups of other machines, and plenty of space left to grow. There will be two separate RAID1 arrays so that heavy activity on the "background processing" array will not impact realtime web serving performance.

Not a single video will be stored or served from this machine. :thumbsup :Graucho

Rowan,

If you are still looking at options, I would be happy to put together a comprehensive and aggressive quote for you. Please hit me up on email or ICQ and we can discuss. Thanks!

Talk to the people at Cyberwurx they are the BEST.

Make sure you look at NatNet!

That's a bump

Hi Rowan, you'd be surprised that not many hosts will publicly post prices. A lot will want to contact you privately, its worth it to check them out in private as well.

Bump

Looks like the current deal I've been working on for the past 3-4 weeks is about to die... any further suggestions appreciated...

Hi Rowan please feel free to revisit my offer we discussed via email. Thank you. :)

Thanks Gerard, definitely still keeping that in mind... just looking at all options first. :thumbsup

hey, I personally would recommend choopa, too.
they don't pay me for that, but in my opinion they have the best deals.

I have to agree Seagate drives fucking suck

3-4 weeks to take care of a deal getting a server ?

Wondering how it takes 3-4 weeks

here is a bump for you.....

Yeah, me too. Lots of back and forth then a break of nearly 2 weeks without a reply from the other end, now today I get told it looks like the server may not be hot swappable. That's a fundamental requirement, no hot swap is a deal killer, thus the reason for the bump. :thumbsup

well i think your problem is your looking at the cheaper unmanaged hosts and they rarely use cases that are hot swapable due to the extra cost.

How many bargain hosts buy nice cases like http://www.memorylabs.net/scch1.html

we do for anyone that wants more than 2 drives, like this:

http://www.supermicro.com/a_images/p...-300C_spec.jpg

We don't do average billing (per-GB), but we do stock almost exclusively hotswap chassis (who doesn't?! blows my mind)

$249.95/mo for the following config

Quad Core Xeon W3520
6GB RAM
4x1TB SATA HDD (we're vendor agnostic, can't guarantee no seagate but likely would be Hitatchi from looking at current stock)
10Mbps/sec of bandwidth included (roughly 2000GB - more or less depending on your usage patterns)
Your choice of OS
Remote KVM and PDU available

rowan I replied to your last email, and as you can see I put together the exact hot swapable server you want and as you saw, plenty of ip's and more BW then you asked for and all at a very good price. Hit me up if you want to get this project rolling.:winkwink:

Went with Techie Media - thanks Jim! :thumbsup

Thank you very much Rowan for joining the Techie family for this new project of yours.:winkwink:
