DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
Can we expect better performance from 16 x 6G SAS drives vs 16 x 3G SAS drives in a DL380G6 ?
Thanks
John

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
I don't thinkt that the 6G drives will be faster then the 3G drives. 6G or 3G are the bandwidth of the channel from disk to controller (or sas-expander to controller). Not the speed of a single disks. A single disks is not able to fill up a sas-channel.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Patrick

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
Thats what I thought too.
So why bother with 6G SAS drives while the drive can't delivery anywhere near that ?

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
investmentprotection is one cause why you should by 6G drives instead of 3G, but only if there is no pricedifference. I think no one will use those drives in a server, that has a 6G capable controller. The P410i isn't 6G capable.
If the price for 6G and 4G drives is the same, buy 6G. If not, don't buy them.
Best regards,
Patrick

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
The Quickspec says:
3G SAS (6G SAS Capable) technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth and contains full compatibility with 1.5G SATA (3G SATA Capable) technology.

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
The P410, P212, and P411 controllers will get a FW upgrade (within the month I think) that allows those to run at 6Gb/s SAS speeds too. So when used with 6Gb/s drives, and on servers that have 6Gb/s backplanes, you'll get 6Gb/s speeds there.
If any of the components -- drive, controller, or backplane -- aren't 6Gb/s capable, then it'll negotiate down to the slower speed; i.e. 3Gb/s in the case of 3Gb/s drives.
If you have a bottleneck in performance on data to the drive in your situation, it'd be a shame to have a 6Gb/s capable system but only put 3Gb/s drives in in.

Re: DL380G6 16 6G SAS drives
while the P410 states:
Disk Drive and Enclosure Interface - 6G SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
Transfer rate 3G SATA (Serial ATA).
Why is the P410i currently listed as capable while the P410 is stated plainly 6G? I feel like this is fuzzy and that while HP might mean one thing they want you to infer another?
Just trying to clarify and get it correct. Thoughts?

Thank you.
