Conclusion
The I/O speed results were a mixed bag. While the initial test showed a good speed of 553 MB/s, subsequent tests dropped to 210 MB/s and 257 MB/s, resulting in an average of 340 MB/s. This inconsistency raises some concerns about sustained disk performance.
The Geekbench 6 benchmark results were more promising. A single-core score of 718 and a multi-core score of 1179 place this VPS in a decent performance range for everyday tasks and light web hosting. The YABS benchmark was completed in a reasonable time of 11 minutes and 48 seconds.
Network performance, measured by the Global Node Test, showed excellent upload and download speeds from the test server location. However, speeds varied considerably from different global locations, with significantly slower speeds observed in Asian locations like Singapore, Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai. This suggests potential limitations for users targeting those regions.
Overall, the Chicago VPS 2GB RAM plan offers decent processing power and good local network performance. However, the inconsistent I/O speeds and varying international network performance are areas for potential improvement. Users considering this plan should weigh these factors against their specific needs and target audience.
