VPS disk: why IOPS beat megabytes per second

Disk is the most underrated number. Plans say «NVMe», but what matters is not megabytes per second — it is random operations, because that is how databases and web apps actually work. We measure with fio: 4K random read and write, sequential throughput, and p95/p99 latency.

All machines are measured by one agent with identical parameters, so the numbers are comparable. Key tests use three passes and a median: one lucky spike does not become a «record».

The selection holds 13 hosts, led by Rj Network at 91.8. The gap between first and last is 58.1 points. That is a lot: the choice here genuinely matters rather than being a matter of taste.

A score is 0–100 within a comparable group, not an absolute value. It is computed half as a position among others and half against a reference «poor → excellent» scale, so the only slow server in a small sample does not get an undeserved zero.
