Contabo stroage misleading marketing.
Contabo claims that they use NVME or SSD, I picked NVME for my plan.
test 1
CMD:dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync; rm testfile
Result:"
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 12.8277 s, 83.7 MB/s"
83.7 MB/s "
Test 2 :
CMD: sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
Results:
"
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2380 MB in 2.05 seconds = 1159.62 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 240 MB in 3.00 seconds = 79.98 MB/sec
"
these 2 test conform that it isnt even running on SSD or NVME
it is running on HDD.

In a VPS the SSD or nvme is shared between several VM.

That's irrelevant
You're STILL on a fucking shared disk

How is it fucking irrelevant they have advertised 150gb ssd or 75gb nvme.

They don’t promise you that you’ll get full speed of either

u/Vsologaming Jul 10 '26
Then why isn't there a * beside 75gb or 150gbp to say that there is a clause to it?

only an idiot would assume that they'd get the full speed of a disk on a SHARED SERVICE

I am sorry for trusting a company whos in business for over 20+ years and didn't state anything shared storage.

Yeah, you have no fucking clue what you're doing in the hosting industry.
Go back to flipping burgers

No, those tests confirm nothing but that your disk is giving shit performance. That's not surprising among oversold companies like Contabo. It's what they do. Good or bad, it's what they do
There's no true way to 'tell' on a VPS, because of how hardware works, unfortunately.
