I have a RAID 1+0 array in a HP Proliant ML110 Gen10 server with 4 x 7200RPM 2.5" 6Gbps SATA drives. The power management is set to Static High Performance Mode.

I ran a CrystalDiskMark benchmark and here's what I got. enter image description here

The Hyper-V is running "on metal" whereas the DC is in a VM on the Hyper-V. The numbers look kinda on the low end for a RAID 1+0 config. Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?

Please let me know if I'm missing any pertinent information.

TIA

  • I’m voting to close this question because this isn't a forum for low/dead end hardware. – Greg Askew Jul 21 '22 at 23:29

    It's still a real server. – ewwhite Jul 21 '22 at 23:32

    What's the storage controller? The P408i-p (*with* battery) runs quite decently for its class. The onboard S100i sucks extremely and the E208i isn't really worth its money either when writing. The 7.2k drives are rather low end though, so don't expect miracles. – Zac67 Aug 10 '22 at 21:04
  • It is using the onboard controller, which is likely a bottleneck like you suggest. Thanks the comment. – Kamal Aug 11 '22 at 22:50

You're not going to get better speeds out of those drives without a RAID cache or a higher-end standalone SmartArray controller.
