Getting my hands on a new Server, and before we move the Fusion IO Drives over to the new server on top of\u00a0a Hyper V layer, where the File System will be stored inside VHD files, I though I would do a few benchmarks as a baseline to compare to on the VM.<\/p>\n

We have a IO Drive (Gen 1) 160GB SLC<\/a>\u00a0and a IO Drive 2 600GB SLC<\/a><\/p>\n

Both are at 80% factory capacity (which uses\u00a0the extra 20% for extra write performance), A.K.A, High Performance Mode. Swap Support is also Enabled.<\/p>\n

Running in an IBM HS23\u00a0Blade, with 2x 8 Core 2.8Ghz X5560 Xeons & 64GB RAM<\/p>\n

First the newer, and much larger capacity Fusion IO 2 600GB.<\/p>\n

\"FusionIO2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"CDMF2drive\"<\/p>\n

And the earlier Fusion IO 160GB.<\/p>\n

\"FusionIO\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CDMFdrive\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Compared this to the 6x900GB NL SAS RAID10 Array in the 10GBE attached IBM V7000.<\/p>\n

Not a great comparison, but just what happened to be attached to the server.<\/p>\n

\"V7000Mdisk2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CDMMdrive\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well as the very unimpressive 2xRAID1 10K 146GB 2.5\" SAS, the server's C Drive.<\/p>\n

\"Cdrive\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CDMCdrive\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have had the Fusions for a few years now, and can never go back to anything other than PCI SSD's now I've been spoilt with performance like this.<\/p>\n
