https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/benchmark-software-for-msa-2012i/m-p/4470663#M32178 Hi,<BR />I am looking for some good benchmark software to test two MSA 2012i. Furthermore it would be nice to have some reference data for what would be normal.<BR />/Regards<BR />Lars Kragh Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:21:55 GMT kragster 2009-07-31T06:21:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/benchmark-software-for-msa-2012i/m-p/4470663#M32178 Hi,<BR />I am looking for some good benchmark software to test two MSA 2012i.

Writes still achived 60-70 MB/s. It was a 4-member SAS-disk RAID-5 set.<BR /><BR />If you have some time, repeat the experiment with 512 Byte I/O sizes...
