Dell DAS MD1000 Benchmarks

Here are the Dell MD1000 Direct Attached Storage Benchmarks I had promised earlier. The performance is not bad. I’m trying to squeeze some more MB/s out of the read performance. I’ve also included performance / disk. Looks as though 4x and 8x disks in RAID10 have the best performance per disk. All the disks are 73 GB Seagate 15K SAS.

  Write (MB) Write (MB)/disk Rewrite (MB) Rewrite (MB)/ disk Read (MB) Read (MB)/disk
2 x RAID1 35.0 17.5 25.0 12.5 99.9 50.0
4 x RAID10 94.2 23.5 66.7 16.7 252.7 63.2
6 x RAID10 100.0 16.7 72.1 12.0 295.5 49.3
8 x RAID10 166.0 20.7 100.4 12.6 434.7 54.3
10 x RAID10 164.3 16.4 97.5 9.8 404.5 40.4
12 x RAID10 186.2 15.5 104.9 8.7 425.5 35.5
14 x RAID10 195.7 14.0 105.7 7.6 450.2 32.2

    Can you publish the same test with Raid 5, thanks

    Do you have stats using SATA harddisks?

    Thanks,

    No SATA benchmarks yet. Will soon though. I just shifted around some disks and added some 500GB SATA Seagate ES drives.
