Dedicated servers · NVMe storage
An NVMe dedicated server from Server Room is a whole HPE Moonshot cartridge with its own NVMe SSD, root access and a 1 Gbps unmetered port, from $62.58 a month.
Choose the processor line, one drive or two mirrored, and the memory. A build that is already racked is handed over about 30 minutes after payment approval. A build made to order takes 4 to 24 hours.
Live from the order catalogue
NVMe is sold on three Moonshot cartridge lines: Intel Xeon D-1500, Intel Xeon E3-1585L v5 and Intel Xeon E-2286M. Each price is the full machine written under it, processor, memory, drive and port, taken from the catalogue the checkout bills from.

Dollar prices apply in the US cities. Amsterdam and Bucharest bill the same figure in euros. A configured build pays a one-time setup fee of $29.00; a racked server ordered exactly as it stands pays none.
Drives
Every NVMe cartridge opens in the configurator with one drive. Switch the controller to RAID 1 and it takes a second drive as a mirror, so the server keeps running when one drive fails. Usable space stays the size of one drive.
On the cheapest build, two 240 GB drives in RAID 1 bring the price to $72.37 a month. A mirror is not a backup: it protects against a failed drive, not against a deleted file.

Storage choice
Both are flash. The difference is the path between the drive and the processor, and that path decides how much random I/O the server sustains under load.
Interface limits from the SATA-IO, AHCI and NVM Express specifications. They describe the bus, not a benchmark of our drives.
Pick NVMe when the workload is small random I/O at high queue depth and fits on one or two drives. Pick an SSD dedicated server on a rack or blade line when you need tens of terabytes, RAID 5, 6 or 10, or a hardware controller: build it in the configurator or read about the rack and blade servers. NVMe, SATA SSD and hard disks are compared figure by figure on NVMe vs SSD vs HDD.
Included
1 Gbps with no transfer allowance and no overage line on the invoice. Move up to 10 Gbps on the same server; the 10 Gbps step is $529.00 a month. See 10Gbps dedicated servers.
31 installable images across the NVMe lines, including Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Debian, Windows Server and Proxmox VE. The machine is yours alone: no hypervisor under it unless you install one.
The included Basic plan answers within 12 hours and replaces failed hardware within 24 hours. Faster plans are listed in the configurator.

No contract. Pay by the month, or take up to 15% off on a 12-month cycle.

Answers
A physical server rented whole, with its storage on NVMe SSDs that connect over PCIe instead of SATA. Ours are HPE Moonshot cartridges: processor, memory, drives and port belong to one customer, with root access.
From $62.58 a month for Intel Xeon D-1548 Octa Core 2.00 GHz · 32 GB DDR4 · 1 × NVMe-SSD 240 GB · 1 Gbps. The same build with a second drive in RAID 1 is $72.37. A configured build adds a one-time $29.00 setup fee, and the configurator shows the total before you pay.
The Intel Xeon D-1500 line at $62.58 a month, with one 240 GB NVMe drive and a 1 Gbps unmetered port. Paying for 12 months takes up to 15% off.
NVMe is an SSD on a faster bus. A SATA SSD stops at the 6 Gb/s SATA link, about 600 MB/s, with one command queue of 32 entries. An NVMe SSD talks to the processor over PCIe with up to 65,535 queues, which shows most in random I/O under load. For bulk capacity, a rack server with many SATA or SAS SSDs holds far more.
Yes. Choose RAID 1 in the configurator and the cartridge takes two NVMe drives as a mirror. Usable space is the size of one drive. On the cheapest build, two 240 GB drives bring the price to $72.37 a month.
NVMe drives run from 240 GB to 3.84 TB, one or two per cartridge. For a storage server with more room, a rack server holds up to 24 SATA or SAS SSDs behind a hardware RAID controller, with drives up to 30.72 TB.
New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest, on our own network, AS19624. The line cards above show which cities each line is sold in. Amsterdam and Bucharest are billed in euros.
About 30 minutes after payment approval when the build is already racked, and 4 to 24 hours when it is built to order. Payment and fraud review come first and are the part that varies.
Yes. The 1 Gbps port has no transfer allowance and no overage price. The NVMe lines go up to 10 Gbps, and the 10 Gbps step is $529.00 a month.
31 images across the NVMe lines, including Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Debian, Windows Server and Proxmox VE, with root access on every one.
