What a user gets, plan by plan
What one user on each plan gets, measured on the servers our customers use right now and refreshed every hour. Each figure is weighted by users: the median user is the user in the middle of everyone on the plan, so a busy server with 40 users counts 40 times and a quiet one with a single user counts once. Capacity figures are a server's capacity divided by the users on it, what is there for one user, not what users happen to use.
The plans are built for different jobs: they differ in disk type, server size and how many users share a server. The trophies compare HDD plans with HDD plans and SSD plans with SSD plans, never across the two.
What a user gets: the bold number is the median user, the user in the middle of everyone on the plan (a server with 40 users counts 40 times); the grey line is the average user. Per server: bold is the median server, grey the average across the plan's servers. marks the best bold number in each row, HDD plans and SSD plans judged separately: more storage, drives, network and read speed win; less pressure, response time, users and busy time win.

What the numbers mean
- Storage per user: the server's disk space divided by the users on it, in TiB.
- Drives per user: the server's physical drives divided by the users on it. 0.5 means two users share each drive. For servers that run as virtual machines these are the drives in the array behind the machine. Drive types differ, so compare HDD plans with HDD plans and SSD with SSD.
- Network share per user: the plan's port speed divided by the users on the server. Servers that run as virtual machines also share the physical host's uplink with the other machines on it.
- I/O pressure: the share of the week when every busy process on the user's server waited for the disks at the same time (the Linux pressure reading, "full"). Lower is better. A few hard drives and several SSDs under the same pressure are very different servers, so compare HDD with HDD and SSD with SSD. You can read the same figure on your own server: your seedbox panel's Info tab shows it as "I/O wait" for the last 5 minutes, and over SSH
grep ^full /proc/pressure/ioprints it (avg300is the last 5 minutes). The figure here covers a whole week, so a single 5-minute reading can sit well above or below it; check at a few times of day. If the panel shows no such row, that server's kernel does not report it. - Disk response time: how long a disk read on the user's server takes to complete, over the past week.
- Read speed per user and Measured read speed: a read-only test of the disk array behind a server (large sequential reads), run on a sample of each plan's servers while they were quiet. The server reads at least this fast; per user it is divided by the users on that server. These come from a sample, not from every server.
- Users per server: how many accounts share one server. Every account type counts, here and in every per-user figure.
- Storage per server and Drives per server: the total disk space of one server and the physical drives that hold it.
- Disks busy: how much of the week the disks had work to do. This is time, not capacity used.
These are live readings of real use, not the maximum each server can do. They cover the past week, and none of them is a promise for the next one. A server here means the machine or virtual machine a seedbox or storage box runs on; Storage Boxes run on the M10G servers.
