What does dedicated SCSI harddisk mean?

We provide each VPS with its own harddisk. This is much better than the competition where a few VPS will share a single harddisk. Sharing the same physical harddisk means any VPS can eat up all the disks IOs for the single shared harddisk, and deprive your VPS of resources. In future, it may be possible for VPS software to dedicate disk IOs. However, at Xssist, we solve this problem today, by giving each premium VPS its own harddisk. You do not share that harddisk with anyone. It is dedicated to your premium VPS only. Not only do we give you a dedicated harddisk with your VPS, it is a 15K RPM SCSI harddisk, not IDE or SATA.
