Before you pick a plan, you can now see how its servers are actually running. The M1000, M10G, SSD, V10G, Dragon-R and Storage Box pages each show live figures from the servers behind that plan: how many users share a server, how many drives it has, how fast the disks answer, how much of the week the disks were busy and how often the server had to wait for them. They refresh every hour.

To weigh plans against each other, the new comparison page puts them side by side and gives a trophy to the best HDD plan and the best SSD plan on each performance figure: https://pulsedmedia.com/server-performance.php

Comparison table with the average and median per plan for users, storage, drives, disk response time, disk waits and how busy the disks are, with the best HDD and SSD plan marked on each performance figure

Every figure comes as a pair. The big number is the average across the plan's servers; the median is the server in the middle, which one unusually busy or quiet machine cannot drag around.

Read them for what they are: real use, not the most the hardware can do. The disk figures cover the past week, and none of it is a promise for what comes next.

Until now the user counts on these pages were typed in by hand, and one dated from 2018. Now the pages take them from the servers' own reports. The raw data is public too: https://pulsedmedia.com/data/v1/fleet-performance.json

Correction, 4 October: this post first called the transfer and disk-operation peaks weekly. They were the highest readings of the last 60 days.

Correction, 6 October: the pages and this post also showed those 60-day peaks. Readers took them for the most a server can do. They were only the busiest moment its users happened to ask for, so we removed them from the pages. They are still in the raw data.
