Poor disk performance on DL380G9 with Smart Array P440ar

[LaurentIff]

Hi,

My Proliant DL380 G9 reflects very poor performance when performing winsat test. I hardly get a 6MB/s random read! I have 3 300GB disks attached to a Smart Array P440ar controller, configured as 2 logical drives: one simple volume (attached to 1 disk) and a stripped volume on 2 disks. No encryption and cache module installed.

Does anyone have an advice to improve performance?

Hello Lauren, 

please ensure that all  firmware ( hdd and controller)  are updated to latest version 

No error is reported in HPE SSA i.e cache disabled etc

Run the online diagnostics test to check if any component has reported degraded error

check by changing the cache ratio for read /write 

if still issue persists then please open a case with HPE Support team for further assistance
