Over the last two nights, I’ve shown you performance testing I’ve done on non Windows based NAS devices, Windows based NAS devices and now tonight, on pure Windows Servers.
In my test environment I’ve got a couple of servers configured as just Windows Servers, ie – no Domain Controller roles or anything else.
- HP ML110G6 – this has 2 x 250GB SATA drives in a RAID 1 configuration with a P212 controller and 256MB cache. The cache is configured as 25% Read / 75% Write. It’s running Windows Server 2008 R2.
- HP ML 330G6 – this has 4 x 1.5TB SATA drives in a RAID 5 configuration on a P410I with 512MB BBWC. The cache is configured as 25% Read / 75% Write. It’s running Windows Server 2012 Standard.
Here’s the results.

Speed |
| HP ML110 G6 | 31m 16s | 66.35MB/s |
| HP ML330 G6 | 30m 52s | 67.02MB/s |
I also have an ML350G5 with 6 x 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration running Windows Server 2008 R2. I ran the same tests as above, and got a speed of 73.56MB/s. I didn’t however include them in the tables as I had removed a large amount of data from the C: drive of my test system before backing it up which would make the time taken to be inaccurate in that format. It does however show that more spindles does get a “little” more performance in this scenario. I’ll be replacing the C: drive in my desktop with an SSD soon and I’ll see if these test results vary much.
I cannot agree more! I mentioned the same to my husband and since many people
that would listen. I really do not have an engagement or
wedding ring. I get the thought I want a ring in the least offensive.
I am married. I made a vow! I am not going to forget.
I adore my husband aand I gave myself to him voluntarily, however he doesn’t own
me and need to brand me. Generally people understand I’m married, because I’m a stay at home mother with three
kids in tow. On some occasions, I’ve been approached by someone I simply say I
am married.
