One of the drives in our server has failed. =( Even though it should be a 10 minute job OVH needs a 2 hour window to replace it.

I've requested they schedule it for Tuesday from 8am - 10AM PST. Hopefully it'll be much reasonably quick, but expect some cloudflare tunnel errors while they perform the work.

2x Raid 1 Samsung MZVL2512HCJQ-00B07. I'm sure OVH bought a million of them for pennies.

I have nicer (non-OVH) hardware for us coming soon once I can do the setup + plan out the migration.

Interesting. So you give them a box and they put it into their rack?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Basically. It wouldn't be with them directly, but with a smaller provider I know that has several racks. They'll rent me a space in one of their racks, based on our power and network requirements.

Most colocation providers don't want to deal with sharing multiple customers in a rack, they also don't generally provide network access.

Is this cheaper than a cloud VM? I suppose that's why you're going this route.
