New Principled Technologies Study Reveals Mixed SAS/NVMe Storage Performance Advantages of the Dell PowerEdge R750 Server

Compared to a 14G Dell PowerEdge R740xd server equipped with a Broadcom PCIe Gen3 RAID controller, this Broadcom PCIe Gen4 RAID controller-equipped 15G PowerEdge server handled more storage requests and maintained more concurrent throughput in four mixed-storage configurations.

New Principled Technologies Study Reveals Mixed SAS/NVMe Storage Performance Advantages of the Dell PowerEdge R750 Server
Durham, NC, June 17, 2022 --(PR.com)-- No matter how enticing NVMe performance gains are, investing in all NVMe drives can be an expensive proposition—both economically and operationally. In a recent report, Principled Technologies (PT) compared the input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput in four mixed drive configurations on two servers: A 15G Dell PowerEdge R750 server with a Broadcom PCIe Gen4 RAID controller and a 14G Dell PowerEdge R740xd server with a Broadcom PCIe Gen3 RAID controller.

According to the report, “In our random write workload-based FIO benchmark testing, we found that the more SAS drives we used in the mixed SAS/NVMe configuration, the bigger the performance differences were between the PowerEdge R750 and the PowerEdge R740xd.”
