Are you sure 200 IOPS isn’t a typo? If not, you are being ripped off. I use Linode, for example, and I get *warning* alerts (not a hard limit) by default at 1000 IOPS, and even that warning threshold is configurable. Linode has been benchmarked at much better than 200 IOPS: http://serverbear.com/10-linode-1gb-linode Even though on that ServerBear site, Linode doesn’t score particularly high in terms of I/O, I can tell you now, the crap that you’ve gone through generally Just Doesn’t Happen™. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
