@cybertech said:
most questions are answered in their knowledgebase (especially how to use block storage).
honestly did not notice any downtime at all apart from my own reboots. using it as plex/storage backup so YMMV.
I don't really understand block storage. but I agree with block storage if it's useful for backup.
However, if it's for production, is it better to use block storage or not?
you could probably open a technical thread and let the experts comment, depends what you use it for, and how block storage is set up by provider. for letbox iirc it's triple replicated and well cached. very consistent disk performance.
backup wise, I always do external backups for important data.
to me the advantage of having block storage is that it's independent of the vps (and OS). this keeps the main NVMe fast since there are 2 sets of IOPS (NVMe, block storage). also just days back I screwdd up the main OS and had to reinstall everything. block storage remained intact with all data inside.
