Is there something I've done that is glaringly wrong? Or are two 7200 RPM drives in raid one just have that bad of performance? I know it doesn't give you a write increase, but with a dedicated RAID controller I wouldn't think it would trash the performance that badly?Ĭlick to expand.Thank you for your insight.Can SIM-Cloud, the public cloud of a German provider, compete with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform? In this article, you will learn which of these solutions offers better performance and which one is more affordable. Raid 5 for to store my encoded video files for VM 103: The array is not actually degraded, I am just using 3d Printed caddys so the controller can't verify that the drive is HP genuine. The P440ar is connected to CPU0 through PCIe. I have 7 2.5 inch 7200RPM 500Gb drives that I installed in the server, and configured them as follows:Ĭache is enabled on the P440ar but it is read only, no write. Here is the config of the windows cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/105.conf Here is a Crystal Disk Mark Real World performance test from inside the windows VM: I have the latest Stable Virt-io scsi and Balloon drivers installed. Took me over an hour to get through the windows install alone.

The windows VM is experiencing horrible disk write performance.

(Yes I know this is technically against the rules but the server is for my LAN only, so I'm essentially just making my DVDs easier to watch.)ġ01: PiHole DNS Filter (Headless Debian),ġ02: Lancache for Game downloads (Headless Debian) I just transferred all the VMs to the new server recently, and wanted to add a new windows VM to encode DVDs to put on my plex server. Before I got this server I was using 2 desktop towers to run 5 VMs. The specs of the server are 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 CPUs, 32gb of ram (16gb per CPU), and a Smart Array P440ar Controller. I recently got my hands on a HPE ProLiant M元50 Gen9 tower server without storage. Hello everyone, I'd like to start by saying that I'm new-ish to ProxMox and especially new to server hardware.
