Raid controller performance

gogalai — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 13:12:11 GMT

Hello,

I need help choosing a better RAID controller(s) for DL380 Gen11. We have several virtual machines running Oracle databases, and latency is very important.

Which option would provide better performance: 2 x MR416i or 1 x SR932i?

Hi @gogalai,

Here are the SR and MR controller specifications:
MR216i-p controllers with impressive performance, including up to 13,700 Mbs of bandwidth, 3 million random read IOPS, and 240K RAID5 random write IOPS.
The HPE SR932i controllers feature up to 46 GB/s bi-directional throughput and up to 3.5M IOPs.

On the basis of this specification, please configure the controllers accordingly .

Regards,
Harshitha
