We have got this server today
http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/px120ssd
WE got following benchmark I am not satisfied with IO speed what can be issue?
[root@server ~]# sh bench.sh CPU model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz Number of cores : 12 CPU frequency : 3500.000 MHz Total amount of ram : 129166 MB Total amount of swap : 4095 MB System uptime : 3 min, Download speed from CacheFly: 59.4MB/s Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 13.8MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 13.6MB/s Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 5.88MB/s Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, NL: 61.7MB/s Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 60.8MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 3.21MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 13.6MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 11.1MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 21.1MB/s I/O speed : 249 MB/s

Instead smaller server is giving better performance... http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex40ssd
This server gave us 440MB/s IO..
Let us know which server we should keep.
