Conclusion
We ran Geekbench 5 tests and recorded a single-core score of 671 and a multi-core score of 684. The test also revealed low memory levels, prompting a recommendation to add at least 1 GB of swap for better compatibility. In addition, our team completed YABS tests which showed memory read speeds around 17,800 MB/s and write speeds near 12,668 MB/s. The tests also monitored latency, recording very low average values, which confirms a highly responsive memory performance.
Disk performance was evaluated using dd and fio tests. The measurements varied based on block sizes and IOPS, with read speeds ranging from about 3.9 MB/s to over 52 MB/s. These results point to acceptable SSD performance for basic operations, although the speeds may not reach those of high-end NVMe devices.
Network tests included iperf3 evaluations that compared speeds from various global endpoints. The tests revealed mixed throughput, with some transfers hitting speeds above 7 Gbits/sec, while others remained at moderate levels. Streaming services were also checked and showed reliable access to channels like YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime Video, whereas platforms such as Disney+ remained blocked or had limitations.
Conclusion: The ServerAstra USA New York instance delivers steady performance for everyday hosting needs. Our team found strong network and memory speeds paired with reasonable disk performance. With a suggested swap upgrade to address low memory, this server proves to be a reliable option for basic workloads and consistent connectivity.
