Hello, I've been enjoying Paperspace instances (A4000 these days) for a while. However, since a week, I had catastrophic storage performances. I suspect they started virtualizing Windows (since they announced dropping support for new users).

Can someone suggest an alternative?

Here are my criterias:

  • support for Windows templates
  • no upfront cost (210€ upfront on Akamai, 100€ for OVH, seriously for 0.8$/h instances!)
  • available in EU
  • GPU models appropriate for gaming
  • affordable prices, I'm currently paying 0.8$/h + 11$ for monthly storage (500GB SSD + one snapshot)

I believe it's still better than renting games. Here I can just backup my saves and move elsewhere (other provider or on real hardware if I want). I've been playing like 100h per year, so I thing spending 2K€ in hardware when I can just spend 40€/month is not worth it for me.
