Rabata.io vs iDrive e2
Balanced High Performance
Independent S3 performance benchmark comparing Rabata.io and iDrive e2
Overview
iDrive e2 shows excellent small object performance but demonstrates significantly weaker infrastructure across all other metrics. Testing requires a credit card. Rabata.io delivers balanced, production-ready performance across all workload types without payment barriers.
While iDrive e2 leads in small object operations (962 ops/s vs Rabata’s 696 ops/s), Rabata delivers 1.9x faster uploads (1,462 MB/s vs 763 MB/s), 3.8x faster mixed operations (346 MB/s vs 90 MB/s), and equivalent download performance (1,107 MB/s vs 1,124 MB/s). For real-world applications, balanced performance across all operations matters more than excelling in a single metric.
Performance Comparison
| Metric | Rabata.io | iDrive e2 |
|---|---|---|
| Upload Speed | 1,462 MB/s ★ | 763 MB/s |
| Download Speed | 1,107 MB/s | 1,124 MB/s ★ |
| Mixed Operations | 346 MB/s ★ | 90 MB/s |
| Small Objects (ops/s) | 696 | 962 ★ |
Conclusion
iDrive e2's strength in small object handling (962 ops/s) is undermined by weak performance across all other metrics: uploads nearly half as fast (763 MB/s vs Rabata’s 1,462 MB/s), mixed operations nearly 4x slower (90 MB/s vs 346 MB/s), and poor scaling behavior. For production workloads requiring balanced performance, Rabata.io is the clear choice. Plus, test Rabata’s full performance free for 30 days without credit card versus iDrive’s payment requirement.
All benchmarks were conducted using our reproducible testing methodology with MinIO warp v1.0.7 in September 2025. See the complete S3 provider comparison for detailed charts and analysis across all tested providers.
