Just to put things in perspective:
- HD ~180MB/s, random IO 5-20MB/s
- SSD 300-500MB/s
- NVMe 700MB/s-3500MB/s
Collocation is the best option, but upfront hardware costs are pretty high. Even if you manage to get all the hardware together, collocation costs are pretty steep as well. Especially if you are in the US where bandwidth and electricity costs will cost far more than just renting.
Wow, sorry to hook in here but I love speedy discs and what a specs. NVMe, I don't get it, it works with e.g. SSD so I am thinking direction bus architecture but you plug it in a PCI slot? Where do I place this?

NVMe is an SSD drive (Solid State) but instead of using the SATA Bus (Sata 3 capped at around 550-600 MB/s) it uses a 4x PCI-Express bus (4x capped at near 4,000 MB/s Gen 3, Gen 4 8,000 MB/s but no drives support this.).
i used to run a GSP so i understand all the costs. thanks for the additional information, i also know the company i used to host my game server company went on to do co-location server hosting for a mining app and yes, upfront costs are expensive especially when that will be outta date in six months time potentially. thanks for the speed stats.
That's the other thing when MIRA is released and stable the specs will change a lot.
roger that. i'll keep a search for MIRA related posts going then as well.
