because dreadlockssite is massive with over 1 tb in data/media i had a seperate drive set up as a media disk (large cheap storage)
unfortunately although the tech suport at infinitive hosting is top notch even after maybe 50 times explaining things in 50 diferent ways they put the cheap sata as the main disk and the ssd for media.. which was almost never accessed (since vids and music arent in high demand and all imzages are cached on ssd)
this was totaly backwards from what i requested and ..what made sense
after migrating to a proper setup i got a 4220 performance score
a massive improvement in evrey stat especially drive but also database (which uses the ssd)
i have not yet got redis running, nor i think set up the mysql optimizations nor reniced redis and mysql (mariadb) to run as highest priority
ive done no tuning yet except putting the right drives in the right places
and got a massive performance increase!
i only pay 144 for a 1 tb ssd (8 cores 3.5 ghz 32 gigs ram) 4 tb satas
i used to pay 4 times that much with way worse support and 1/2 or less drive space
