Live server performance, side by side
These numbers come from the servers our customers are using right now, and they refresh every hour. They show how the servers actually run, not the most the hardware could do.
The plans are built for different jobs: they differ in disk type, server size and how many users share a server. That is why the trophies compare HDD plans with HDD plans and SSD plans with SSD plans, never across the two.
Bold is the average across the plan's servers; the grey line under it is the median, the server in the middle. marks the best average in each row, HDD plans and SSD plans judged separately: fewer users, faster response and less waiting or busy time win, and so do higher peaks. Storage per server is just the server's size, so it has no winner. Swipe the table sideways to see every plan.

What the numbers mean
- Users per server: how many accounts share one server. Every account type counts.
- Storage per server: the total disk space of one server, in TiB.
- Disk response time: how long a disk read takes to complete, averaged over the past week.
- Waiting on disk: how much of the week every active process on the server was waiting for the disks, averaged over the servers that recorded any waiting. Lower means less waiting.
- Disks busy: how much of the week the disks had work to do. This is time, not capacity used.
- 60-day peak read and write: how fast the disks read and wrote in each server's busiest reading of the last 60 days, averaged across the plan's servers.
- 60-day peak read and write IOPS: disk operations per second in each server's busiest reading of the last 60 days, averaged the same way. Each reading is a two-minute average, and every server is read many times a day.
These are live readings of real use, not the maximum each server can do. A quiet server shows a low peak because its users did not ask for more, not because it cannot go faster, so a higher peak means those servers were asked for more and delivered it. The peaks cover the last 60 days and the other figures the past week; 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.
