A Principled Technologies test report 9

File server performance on the Intel processor-powered

Dell PowerEdge R730xd with hybrid storage

APPENDIX C – HOW WE TESTED

File server testing

Iometer RAID controller and drive configuration

On the R720xd, we created a RAID 1 on the two backplane HDDs to hold the OS. We then created a RAID 10 on

all 24 of the frontplane HDDs to house the Iometer file. On the R730xd, we changed the RAID controller to HBA mode,

putting all drives into passthrough mode. We then installed the OS on one of the two backplane drives. We created a

software RAID in Windows using the second backplane drive to provide redundancy. We then used Storage Spaces to

create a tiered volume using all of the frontplane HDDs and SSDs to house the Iometer file.
