Hi All
Looking for some expert opinions..
I have a HP P822 hooked up to 12 hitachi Ultrastars, while testing the system prior to using it full time I was getting some very fast benchmarks with 8x disks running (I was waiting for some 8088 to 8088 cables to arrive for the external to internal adapter)
Benchmark with 8x disks and 'not much data' on the disks
Now benching the 12 drive single volume with 10% space taken up - I had to reformat the drive in 16k cluster size as it was over the size limit for the 4k ntfs default - not sure if this would affect anything -
As you can see the read speed is very low and the write speed is about the same as my 8x 500gb consumer hitachi drive array connected to a perc 5
Any ideas before I move all the data again destroy the array, recreate, create the volume, benchmark, add data, rebenchmark..?? Hard to do all that while trying to run a business off the same machine
