Maximizing Performance with the 12GBPS 3.0 Interface
To maximize the performance of the Dell 405-AAWU PCI-E 12GBPS 3.0 2×8 PERC H345 Internal SAS/SATA Raid Adapter, consider the following tips:
- Use a fast disk controller interface: Connect the drives to the controller using fast SAS or SATA interfaces.
- Use fast drives: Use high-performance SAS or SATA drives that have a high rotation speed (e.g. 15k RPM) and large cache size.
- Use RAID 0 or RAID 1+0: These configurations offer the best performance and can help maximize disk input/output operations per second (IOPS).
- Use multiple disks in a RAID configuration: Using multiple disks in a RAID configuration can help increase the overall performance of the system.
- Check the cache policy: The adapter supports battery-backed write cache (BBWC) and non-volatile cache (NVC) options. Consider using the NVC option to maximize write performance.
- Make sure the system has enough memory: A lack of memory can limit the performance of the adapter, so make sure the system has enough memory to support the desired performance level.
- Upgrade to the latest firmware: The latest firmware may include performance enhancements and bug fixes.
