In this post, you will find my first impressions and Benchmarks for Storage Servers from Inception Hosting. These storage VPS’es are located in Phoenix, USA at IOFlood datacenter. These are hard disk based storage servers, therefore the speeds for the disks are lower than the typical benchmark results you may find on this blog.

Update January 2022 The 512 MB Server remains in operation, you can check its real time performance by clicking here.

Now, we take a look at the 1 TB storage server. This was a purchasing mistake on my part- two services in the same datacenter with the same provider do not offer much in terms of redundancy. That too, when the network speeds I get are not the greatest.
