OVH OVH NVMe Users Post Your NVMe Model

integritly · Jan 16, 2020

For those of you with OVH Rise/Advance servers with NVMe SSDs, would you be able to post what model NVMe's your server came with? OVH support has been unable to provide really specific information here.

All they could say was the disks are "80% Samsung, 20% WD." But I noticed the entry level 450GB drives on the Rise 1 servers are classified as "Datacenter" while the 500GB NVMe's on the Advance 2 lineup are "Enterprise."

So if you guys can post your specs, that should help us narrow down which options pertain to which drives.

For reference, my previous Advance 2 w/ 500GB NVMe's in RBX had Western Digital drives.

Are those bare metal servers? Can you identify your current NVmE drive brand/model?
Code:
udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sda | grep ATTRS{model}

could also use nvme list command from nvme-cli yum package
Code (Text):
yum -y install nvme-cli
nvme list --o json

Thanks, this is what I use as well. Don't have an OVH server atm, but I am looking into grabbing one and wanted to know which NVMes came with each selection before purchase, as their support wasn't able to specify.

Figured I'd ask those of you who have one of these particular models to list what models theirs came with and their disk choices; like 2x450 GB Datacenter NVMe, 500GB Enterprise NVMe, = Samsung, WD, ect..

Datecenter and Enterprise are interchangeable terms for SSD that made for Enterprise/Datacenter depending on the manufacturer. The opposite of that is consumer NVMe.

In general terms I agree that's the case, but in OVH's it would seem to me they're using it as a way to differentiate the drives. If they were using it interchangeably why not label all the drives either Enterprise or Datacenter?

Comparing their servers, the 500GB/1TB are listed as Enterprise and the 450GB/1.92TB are listed as Datacenter.

yeah hard to know, maybe @rdan @Matt @Jimmy can chime in with their NVMe experiences on OVH

Hi Matt, thank you so much for such detailed responses! That's exactly the information I was looking for. Really appreciate the time you took to gather the info, you've been a great help!

@Matt

so we have

1.92TB Samsung PM963 NVMe
MZQLW1T9HMJP | Enterprise SSD | Samsung Semiconductor
Random write = 40,000 IOPs

450GB Intel DC P3520 NVMe
Intel® SSD DC P3520 Series (450GB, 2.5in PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D1, MLC) Product Specifications
Random write = 19,000 IOPs

512GB Western Digital CL SN720 NVMe
https://www.westerndigital.com/products/data-center-drives/cl-sn720-ssd
Random write = 5,850 IOPs

All are enterprise or datacenter drives = non-consumer drives

@eva2000 @Matt Have any idea what the 1TB NVMe models are? Thanks.

eva2000 · Mar 30, 2020

No data on my end unfortunately

Hello,
From what I see, OVH 's NVMe disks are up to 4 years old :/
Performances are not so great ...

eva2000 · Jul 8, 2020

Oooh https://twitter.com/olesovhcom/status/1280594016996855810 1,200Mbit/s 4K random writes !

Here, why OVHcloud uses Samsung 15TB NVMe PM1733 Gen4 in the storage servers. Imagine 24 hard disks like that connected in 1 chassis to AMD Epyc Rome2. Imagine NFS Block Object cluster based on 9 racks of 24 servers, each with 24 disks x 15TB.
