MSa drive IOPS?

[CraigSchletty]

what are the IOPS on the MSA 3.84Tb SAs 12G drives? Qty 8 R3R30A drives

Hello,

unfortunately, the information is somewhat vague; we would need to know at least which MSA model (Gen6 or Gen7), iSCSI or FC, what speed is connected, what RAID level, what block size, and the read/write ratio.

Let's assume the following is typical:
MSA Gen7 with 16GB Fibre Channel, RAID 6, 8k block size, 70% read, then that should be around 100,000 IOPS.

Either way, as you can see, the MSA with SSDs is so incredibly fast that there are no performance issues in almost any configuration. (My personal experience)

Another personal tip:
There are cheap 6-Drive SSD bundles available; it's better to get two of them and then configure with RAID DP+. This offers greater reliability, faster rebuilds, and, above all, easy capacity expansion later on.
