expires today no takers then didnt think there would be with price and USB`s if only OVH wood let you drop just the USB`s they wouldnt be getting this server back

[Thelen]

Oh, they used to be I think 50GBP once off :S Maybe it was a special or something.

[mgv]

There is no real pattern, it is just when they get hardware available etc, which is usually start and mid year from Intel etc.

As for dropping the USB, you gotta cancel the server. Though given it is only a once off not sure why you would?

The USB`s are not a once off they are £10+VAT each/month on this server anyway new way of doing things is different tho there is asetup fee for them and you have to take the pro support thing aswell.

OVH have used reloaded like 4 times... It is basically for their middle year 'updates' vs the end year etc.

FYI, "premium" is no different to normal. OVH don't discriminate based on traffic. But, you will certainly be able to do a load of traffic with this...

Also is that a single 1.5TB or 2x750?

2x750`s currently in Raid0

Thelen, have you noticed a pattern on what middle of the year/reloaded updates offer vs end of the year updates?

Maybe you are more aware of the benefits of either, I'd be glad to hear anything you can provide information wise on OVH's updates to their dedicated server lineups.

They list all their old lineups here:

How is it Reloaded? I thought that term applied to 2010 Reloaded range? Not 2008.

[_Lemon_]

You'll probably want to drop in the other specs (yes, save a round trip to the "all offers" page).

Oh, and the fact that it is on the unmetered "premium" bandwidth range.
