Dedicated blade server, still not fast enough?

What about the drives - looks like you're running the game from the desktop - are that the x8 10k drives or are you running from a internal drive(s) on the blade?
 
there are 8 10k sas drives on an internal perc 6i raid controller running raid 5.. its the same "drive" the the os is on
 
Just checking.

Have you tried what IO you have on those?
(as you're running windows you should look in to storage spaces instead of using the raid - especially raid 5 isn't that good on performance)

Or at least use raid 6 or 10 as you have 8 drives, then you'll get better performance.

SQLio is a good tool to check performance on storage.
 
i'll benchmark them tonight with io meter or something. although in resource monitor i never see them being pegged.
 
also i thought raid 5 would give me like a 7x read speed boost. i know theres no write speed gain but its something
 
If I remember correctly it's 5x read speed boost and no write speed gain.

For raid 10 its 6x read and 3x write - and you would want boost in write as well.

The thing that you want to look for is ofc the read/write speed - but also check how the latency comes across - if you got issues there, you'll get skipping of ticks and also lag in-game.

You would probably get better performance of a decent consumer SSD than the sas hdd's you've got now.
 
any file bigger than 32k seems to clock in around 400MB/s write and 700MB/s read
