From our DC:

At 18-Jul-2012 19:25 UTC, the SEA01 datacenter has suffered a dual-path fiber outage. At this time, all servers in SEA01 are without front-end and back-end network connectivity. We have contacted the dark fiber provider and are awaiting word on estimated time for remedy.

English Translation: Minecraft data servers are broken, and they're looking into fixing them and are waiting for someone to say when it'll be fixed.

Nope, our servers were down. Although it actually looks like the Minecraft login servers may be hosted in the same place as our servers, so both the MineRealm servers and the Minecraft login servers went down.

Edit: and it's all back up.

It's kind of sad that a massive datacenter somehow managed to lose connectivity... They should really have a redundant system.

And I forgot to download Portal 2 from Steam so I cant play that >=[ Rawr!

Edit: Wow, they're fast at least... I'll give them that.

Only 50GB, but it's an enterprise grade SSD

If you run a high-traffic Minecraft server on a standard SSD, you'll have a bad time, due to the massive amounts of data being continuously read/write (wearing down the drive).

The drive has a a TBW (total bytes written) of 3.5 petabytes, which is equal to writing 1.9 terabytes per day for five years. It's also not cheap.
