Contabo Does the VPS have an SSD or HDD installed?

Question

Hard disks

Please advise on this issue. I ordered a server on contabo.com I
ordered an SSD, but it confuses me that when I enter the cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational command, the
result is "1". With an SSD, it seems like it should be "0".
Entered the following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=sb-io-test bs=1M count=1k conv=fdatasync; rm -rf sb-io-test
Result: 1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.36248 s, 146 MB/s

Entered the following command: cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host : scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00

Answer 1

Judging by this, you were given a virtual machine. It is possible that it runs on an SSD.
You can find out by indirect signs, for example, by the write speed, which, in your case, is ambiguous: maybe SSD, or maybe RAID on ordinary pancakes.
Answer: hz.

Answer 2

contabo has two options for vpsok, one with hdd and the second with sdd
if you took the second one, then there are definitely ssd
methods for determining in virtual machines what kind of stupid you use, you don’t see what kind of disks there are in the end
