RAID comparisons with SSD's

SSD are becoming as common as dirt, and almost as cheap, well atleast in low capacity variants.  Which means even for low end business customers and home-labbers can start doing entire RAIDs with SSDs.  I for one now have my primary VMware server spinning-disk free!

In this case my HP Proliant G8 ML350 with a Smart Array P420 and 2gb of cache.  Currently with six Samsung PM863 1tb SSD's in a RAID5.


Just for comparison here is the same VM, same machine, just running on a Samsung Evo 970 NVMe 1tb drive.


This one is a Dell PowerEdge r730 with the entry level Perc H310 Mini RAID card.  Currently with eight Intel 400gb Enterprise SSD in a RAID 10 configuration. 

Interesting resulst between the entry level Perc H310 and the Smart Array p420.
