2 SSD with HW raid 0 speed

it seems not good?
what's yours?

this results is 2*250g SSD with HW raid 0

    Any knowledge on what the OP posted above?

    @vpstea
    I'm assuming you don't know if the SSDs are Intels or Samsungs? Or what model?

  • perennateperennate Member, Host Rep

    The speed seems pretty reasonable. You should see much higher random I/O performance than HDD, but sequential performance won't be significantly better (depending on model).

    Thanked by 1jar

    What is the server cpu ? Maybe I/O are limited by cpu.

    That shows the RAID controller, but not the make/model of SSDs.

    9271 I think is a Megaraid, so you should be able to run:

    megacli -PDList -a0

    and get a list of the disks on the system. What are the disks and what is their link speed?

    To give you a comparison, on a single lowly Samsung 850 Evo:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.40805 s, 446 MB/s

    You are getting that throughput from 2 disks

    What disks are they is the real question as to if they are performing well.

  • BharatBBharatB Member, Patron Provider

    lsblk -io KNAME,TYPE,SIZE,MODEL , use that command to know disk model

  • BharatB said: lsblk -io KNAME,TYPE,SIZE,MODEL , use that command to know disk model

    This won't work with a RAID controller, the RAID controller will just report its model as the disk name.

  • BharatBBharatB Member, Patron Provider

    @MarkTurner said:

    What about , lshw -class disk

  • BharatB said: What about , lshw -class disk

    You need to interrogate the RAID controller with the command I put above.

    Yes

  • i just got the server 1 day, raid card bad...
    they are resolving it.
