System used for testing:
HP DL320s dual core CPU with 8GB RAM
Ten Seagate 15k.5 300GB drives in raid 0, raid 5 and raid 6
HP P400i storage controller with 512MB cache and battery
For benchmarking we used CrystalDisk and HDTune
Please see CrystalDisk results below
HP DL320s Ten 300GB 15K disks in Raid 0
The results are very low and we attribute this to the p400i controller card.
The controller card manages all the disks on one port.
We saw poor results from this controller card in previous benchmarks
Please take a look at Perc6i vs P400i results
Now lets take a look at the results of HDTune
HD Tune Read test
HD Tune Write test
HD Tune Random test
HP DL320s Ten 300GB 15K disks in Raid 5
HP DL320s Ten 300GB 15K disks in Raid 6
Conclusion
Results from HP DL320s are low compared to other cheap alternatives, but you are getting an enterprise server that was designed for reliability and large capacity.
