Hey all,

Working on a project at the moment that involves processing large files downloaded to the server. We usually use OVH but are investigating alternatives that have better upload speeds. Has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks,

Check with Fastmail, I know they use fast Intel X25-E SSDs for their email backend, but I don't know what they use for their file storage side. Shoot an email to sales@fastmail.fm & ask what you could expect in terms of throughput, I've always had good experience with them, technical & service-wise; but haven't ever had the kind of bandwidth to ever really put the file servers to any speed test before.
