We were thinking about this some more, being you are using a VPS, you can never be assured of, and it is very unlikely, that a large file (Sierra Chart intraday data files), would ever span a continuous block of memory within the SSD. It probably is very broken up. Therefore, the random read speed would apply.

You should not be using a VPS and you should control your own solid-state drives completely with ones that you purchase and fully control.
