Yes I have and it’s good, but I don’t think anecdotal evidence matters. I may have been lucky or you might be unlucky.

Personally I always buy multiple refurbished drives and put them in a raid in such a way that they can fail without fucking me over. For a minimal setup, mirror and throw big fat errors with sound when one is down or has smart errors or bad blocks.

You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.

Lets normalize the price for comparison.

6/3 = 2

So for the same normalized price you get:

• 4/3 = 1.333 cores
• 6/3 = 2GB RAM
• 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage

And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.

The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits.

Thats expensive

With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith
