This post explains few quick linux commands to check server specifications. I tried to explain every command output in this post as follows:
Check SSD
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational 1
if above commnad returns 1 it means HDD else if it returns 0 then it is SSD.
Check RAM
# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 131778740 kB
Above command returns huge list of outputs, however you can ignore all and should focus on 1st line which tells about total Memory. You can convert KBs to MBs at google in order to get values in MBs.
Check Network Card Speed (NIC)
# sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Speed 10000Mb/s # sudo ethtool bond0 | grep Speed Speed: 20000Mb/s
Replace bond0 or eth0 with your network card name.
Check Raid Status
# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md2 : active raid1 sda3[1] sdb3[0] 262016 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[0] 119684160 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sda1[1] sdb1[0] 102208 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices:
You can see RAID1 is setup on the server or if no raid is setup you will get following below output:
Personalities : unused devices:
Check CPU/Processor Info

Check Internet Speed
# wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py chmod +x speedtest-cli
Then run:
# python speedtest-cli Testing download speed................................................................................ Download: 929.13 Mbit/s Testing upload speed................................................................................................ Upload: 697.23 Mbit/s
