ProLiant ML110 Gen9 Performance

[Chris27]

We have some ProLiant ML110 Gen9 using WD Gold data center disks and they run like crap, constanc disk queueing sh#!!y preformance, Did a bunch of testing and contacted HP support and as soon as they saw the drives were 3rd party they said 'HPE drives are specifically designed, and the HP Raid controller is made for them, thus 3rd party drives are known to not work properly'

Chris27 This happen because the 3rs HD, don't have firmware HPE.

Hello good afternoon. Probably your problem may also come from the integrated controller b140, there are many posts that talk about low writing speeds (and in some cases reading).

I also had problems with the integrated controller, it was a real ruin in the rates of reading and writing, using a four-disk RAID5 WD RED 6 TB.

A few months ago I incorporated a P440 hardware controller, and all the problems went away. I bought it on eBay, from a vendor selling HP Renew controllers.
