Is it possible to increase the write speed of a RAID-5 consisting of an SSD?
Hello!
There is a Dell server with a PERC H710P Mini controller and a VDisk RAID-5 consisting of 8 Crucial CT960M500SSD1 SSDs
According to the disk manufacturer, the characteristics are as follows:
Sustained Sequential Read up to (128k transfer): 500MB/s
Sustained Sequential Write up to (128k transfer): 400MB/s
Random Read up to (4k transfer): 80,000 IOPS
Random Write up to (4k transfer): 80,000
IOPS in theory, it should still be 20k IOPS, but in fact, utilization reaches 100% with the following indicators for a sufficiently loaded machine used for virtualization:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/sr/sw/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util
sda 0.00 0.00 569.00 1593.00 10.11 54.88 61.56 36.81 17.10 0.46
100.00 something to do?

at record RAID5 can rest against calculation of results xor or in their record.
RAID5 is not the best solution for virtualization, RAID10 is better suited for this task.
It is clear that RAID10 is faster, etc., but still there is a financial side, if there are 8 disks in the array, then 7 SSD disks will be used for RAID-5, only 4 for RAID-10, at the price of SSD disks this is significant .
The question is that for RAID-5 and this controller, is it normal behavior to lose 40 times the number of IOPS or not.
