Sumup of some benchmarks
Hey all, i promised to give some feedback after i received the M500s and here it goes, a rather lengthy post and can't really understand some of the numbers, they make Little sense to me.
- Server: HP DL380 G6
- Controller-card: P410i (internal) 512MB BBU connect to HP standard backplane
- C-drive: 2 x Samsung Pro 256 GB in Raid0 (stripe 256KB) connected at 3Gbps
- D-drive: 4 x M500 960GB in Raid10 (stripe 32/64KB) connected at 3Gbps
- Large folder copy consists off: 6 files total size 5,87 GB
- Small folder copy consists off: 25947 files total size 3,25 GB
- All benchmarks done with default settings, times in seconds and done on a Win Server 2012R2 DC Clean install with latest SSP from HP from Februari 2014
I did three different config of caches:
1 - Controller cache (512MB) 25%Read/75% Write, SSD internal write cache on
2 - Controller cache (512MB) Off, SSD internal write cache on
3 - Controller cache (512MB) Off, SSD internal write cache Off

On top of these manual tests i did some CrystalDiskMark benchmarks
