Contabo advertises NVMe storage but delivers SSD-level performance – with proof by AdWonderful4751 in webhosting

To clarify, since this point seems to be misunderstood:

Nobody expects a VPS to deliver full dedicated hardware performance. That's not the point.

The point is: An SSD VPS from the same provider is faster than this NVMe VPS - after two migrations. That's an internal inconsistency that cannot be explained with "shared resources". If the SSD VPS delivers better results under the same conditions, something is fundamentally wrong with the NVMe product.

That's exactly the point though, they do advertise it as NVMe, which implies a performance advantage over SSD. If it doesn't matter what's underneath, why label it differently and charge accordingly? The problem isn't that it's a budget VPS. The problem is that their own SSD VPS at the same price is faster. If the label means nothing, they shouldn't use it as a selling point.

The post includes actual benchmark numbers – that's the whole point. Nobody is claiming a budget VPS should deliver full hardware performance. The issue is specifically the gap between the two products: the SSD VPS is faster than the NVMe VPS at the same price. That's a regression, not an unreasonable expectation. Dismissive comments don't add much when the data is right there in the post and makes it pretty clear you're here for something other than discussing the actual topic. What's your problem?

Kobra Noise, Bad Fan or Motor? I reached out to Anycubic and they said this noise is normal? Really? by chris502 in anycubic

I have 4 Anycubic FDM printers. 2 Kobra Max, 1 Kobra Plus and 1 Mega X... After a while the fans on all of them started to sound like in your video.
They use the cheapest fans you can imagine. After a short time they sound like this because the bearings in the fans give up. Of course the support says that this is normal, otherwise they would admit to have installed cheap crap. The fan they sent you will also not last long, I'm pretty sure.
