Raff Technologies USA AMD EPYC 8224P Hourly Billing Cloud Virtual Machine Test and Review
This evaluation focuses on Raff Technologies $19.99/month plan, featuring an AMD EPYC 8224P 24-Core Processor, 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD, and a 1 Gbps port. The test aimed to assess the VM’s suitability for enterprise workloads, examining CPU, memory, disk, network performance, and IP quality for applications like web hosting, data processing, and streaming.
The VM delivers robust performance: Sysbench CPU scores of 2193 (single-thread) and 3400 (multi-thread), memory read/write at 28,020 MB/s and 16,246 MB/s, and disk throughput up to 4.67 GB/s. Network speeds hit 8.93 Gbits/sec (send) and 2.96 Gbits/sec (receive). However, IP quality is a concern, with a FraudScore of 99 and blacklisting in eight databases, limiting streaming capabilities (e.g., Netflix originals only, Disney+ blocked).

Conclusion
The VM delivered solid CPU performance, scoring 2193 (single-thread) and 3400 (multi-thread) on Sysbench, with Geekbench 6 results of 1092 (single-core) and 2189 (multi-core). Memory tests showed impressive read/write speeds at 28,020 MB/s and 16,246 MB/s, respectively. Disk performance was robust, with fio tests yielding up to 4.67 GB/s total throughput for 1MB blocks. Network tests revealed strong connectivity, achieving up to 8.93 Gbits/sec send and 2.96 Gbits/sec receive speeds. However, streaming unlock tests were limited, with Netflix restricted to originals and Disney+ blocked. IP quality raised concerns, with a FraudScore of 99 and blacklisting in eight databases.
The VM’s CPU and disk performance shine for compute-intensive tasks like data analytics, akin to a reliable workhorse in a busy server room. Memory speeds support rapid data access, ideal for caching or databases. Network performance is a standout, handling high traffic with ease, though IP quality issues could hinder applications requiring clean IPs, like email servers. Imagine a sports car with a slightly tarnished license plate—great performance, but it may raise flags in sensitive environments.
Raff Technologies’ VM offers compelling value for cost-conscious IT teams, excelling in CPU, memory, and network performance for web hosting or data processing. However, IP quality issues suggest caution for use cases like streaming or email services. IT administrators should weigh these trade-offs, but for general-purpose workloads, Raff’s blend of affordability and power makes it a strong contender.
