YABS Benchmark Guide
After purchasing a plan, run the following command and share the full output in the comments section (NodeInit compiles a list of all user-submitted benchmark results):
curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -i -g
Key Metrics to Watch for Storage VPS Plans:
| Metric | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Random 4K read speed via fio | HDD-based drives typically deliver under 2 MB/s; SATA SSDs reach 100 MB/s or higher; this helps identify the actual disk type |
| Sequential read speed via fio | HDDs offer around 100–200 MB/s; SATA SSDs achieve 400–550 MB/s |
| Actual bandwidth via iperf3 | Confirms if the 10Gbps uplink speed is actually available to users |
| Geekbench 6 single-core score (GB6) | The E5 v3 platform is expected to score between 600–900; this level is acceptable for Storage VPS workloads |
CPU Steal percentage (top %st) |
A sustained value above 5% indicates over-provisioning |
Please note: We use GB6 as the standard benchmark version for all comparisons; do not mix up scores from GB5 and GB6.

NodeInit Editor’s Review
Plan Category: D (Storage-focused VPS)
Recommended Use Cases: At just $3.50/month for the 1TB SATA plan, this is one of the most affordable cold storage options available in New York; the automatic /64 IPv6 allocation is a major plus. It’s perfect for personal backups, static file archives and low-frequency data warehouses. However, given the strict ToS restrictions, it’s not suitable for high-volume write operations or scenarios requiring high IOPS performance.
Potential Pitfalls to Note:
Recurring status of the Storage VPS discount is unclear (critical): While the Ryzen VPS plans explicitly state their discounts are recurring, the 30% off offer for Storage VPS only mentions the discount rate without specifying if it applies to future renewals. If it’s a one-time discount, renewal prices will jump back to $5.00 and $10.00 respectively; we strongly advise confirming this via support ticket before ordering.
SATA storage type is ambiguous (most likely HDD): Only “SATA” is mentioned; at $3.50/month for 1TB capacity, the cost is far too low for a SATA SSD, so an HDD configuration is highly probable. HDDs have abysmal random I/O performance (random 4K reads under 2 MB/s), making them completely unsuitable for databases or any scenario involving frequent random reads/writes. Be sure to run fio tests after purchase and share your results.
The Xeon E5 v3 platform dates back to 2014: This processor is now over 10 years old; while its performance has minimal impact on Storage VPS workloads, we still feel it’s important to highlight the hardware’s age in this review.
“Unlimited data” is subject to Fair Use Policy: Heavy bandwidth, disk or CPU usage is strictly limited; the actual data cap depends on how the provider interprets Fair Use rules, and they retain the right to throttle or suspend accounts violating these terms.
Virtualization type is undisclosed: There’s no mention of KVM, OpenVZ or LXC; run systemd-detect-virt after purchase to confirm the virtualization environment.
You’ll receive a /64 IPv6 prefix instead of a single /128 address, ensuring full dual-stack support; the node is located in New York’s Metanet data center with dual upstream providers Cogent and GTT; orders placed before May 26 can still benefit from the ongoing promotion.
Five-Dimensional Rating:| Dimension | Rating | Notes |
|—|—|—|
| Cost-effectiveness | 
☆☆ | At $3.50/month for 1TB, the pricing is competitive; however, the status of discounted renewals remains unclear, and HDD storage limits its usability in certain scenarios. |
| Network Quality | ☆ | Offers Cogent/GTT connections in New York with 10Gbps nodes; actual performance still needs verification. |
| Hardware Level | ☆☆☆ | Equipped with Xeon E5 v3 processors (released in 2014) and SATA drives (likely HDDs); barely meets minimum requirements for storage-focused VPS usage. |
| Customer Support | ☆☆ | Operated by a small-scale independent ISP; reputation still needs to be built within the community. |
| Transparency | ☆☆☆ | Details regarding discounted renewal policies, storage types, and virtualization methods remain undisclosed. |
