Fast speeds thanks to NVMe SSDs
Up to 11,000 MB/s instead of 150! NVMe SSDs connect directly to the PCIe bus, without going through SATA and without moving parts. This speeds up reads and writes, so your data can be opened, saved and edited in no time.
NVMe storage
HDD vs. SATA SSD vs. NVMe
What is actually the difference?
All three store your data. How they do it decides how fast your server feels and how safe your files are.
HDD
Classic hard drive
A spinning magnetic platter and a read head that moves back and forth. Every file is a mechanical trip.
- Spinning platters, moving read head
- Slow with many small files
- Sensitive to shocks and wear
Sequential read
up to 150 MB/s
SATA SSD
Flash memory, old interface
No moving parts any more, but the data still has to squeeze through the SATA cable that was designed for hard drives.
- No moving parts
- Limited by the SATA interface
- Much faster than an HDD
Sequential read
up to 550 MB/s
NVMe SSD
Flash memory, direct PCIe link
At VMSkySits directly on the PCIe bus with several lanes at once. No detour, no bottleneck, no mechanics.
- Directly on the PCIe bus
- Thousands of parallel requests
- Our standard for every VPS
Sequential read
up to 11,000 MB/s
Typical reference values, not a benchmark or a guaranteed speed for your VPS. Actual performance varies by hardware, workload and shared usage.
Data safety
Why data can get lost on an HDD, and practically never on NVMe.
A hard drive is a mechanical device. A flash drive is a chip. That difference decides whether your data survives a bad day.
HDD: mechanics wear out
The read head floats a few nanometres above a platter spinning at 7,200 rpm. A shock, a worn bearing or simply age, and the head touches the surface: a head crash. The data on it is gone, often without warning.
SATA SSD: no mechanics, old path
Nothing spins, nothing can crash. The flash chips are as robust as in an NVMe drive. Only the SATA interface from the hard drive era limits how fast the data can get to you.
NVMe SSD: a chip, not a machine
No platter, no head, no bearing. The controller spreads writes evenly across all cells (wear levelling), checks every block and moves data away from weak cells before anything breaks. A sudden failure is extremely unlikely.
Still: a backup protects against your own mistakes, not just hardware. Every VPS comes with two backup slots.
How backups workWhy VMSky
More server for your money. No small print.
We don't resell someone else's servers. We run our own hardware in Germany, and you notice it in the price and in who answers when you write to us.
From 6.86 € a month
Our own hardware, no middleman, no brand markup. You pay for cores, RAM and NVMe, not for a big name.
Enterprise Xeons, not desktop chips
Our servers run on Intel Xeon data centre processors: lots of cores, ECC memory and built to run around the clock. Proven hardware instead of expensive brand-new parts is exactly why you get this much power for this little money.
No subscription, no notice period
You pay in advance for 30 to 365 days. Nothing renews by itself and no invoice turns up that you didn't expect.
Everything included, even in the smallest plan
Your own IPv4, DDoS protection, two backup slots and a browser console always come with it. No add-ons to buy on top.
Hosted in Germany only
Our servers are in Velbert and Saarland. Your data stays in the EU, on machines we run ourselves.
Support from the people who run the hardware
Around the clock on Discord or by email. You don't talk to a call centre, you talk to the team that runs the servers.
