Just wondered if anyone has/had the actual configs that Anandtech used for their Promise Vtrak J300 review. I'm testing a Promise VTrak M300i and M500i, and I'd like to compare the results that I'm getting to the Promise VTrak J300 SAS system. Currently, it looks like performance is great compared to that review, but I can't be certain.
Configuration -
Tyan GT24 w/ dual Opteron 246's - 4GB Registered ECC DDR
Promise VTrak M300i
12 Seagate Barracuda 320GB ES drives
Currently in a 12 drive RAID10 setup
My IOMeter results (from the 2006 version - testing now w/ the 2004 version) indicate that my reads and writes quickly surge to about 110MB/sec, maxing out the Gigabit Ethernet for all read tests, and about 95MB/sec for all of the write tests. I'm putting these into our datacenter after I'm done testing, but I want to have a good idea of our capacity before I go putting a bunch of servers on it.
I'm also planning on testing RAID6 to see if it can handle the additional parity data and still max out the GbE. If I can get away with running RAID6, I'd much rather do that to gain the additional HDD space. I'd really like to have the exact configs that Anandtech used so that I can directly compare the results I'm getting with the results from the Anandtech review.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
