Can you point me to something that has more detail so I can better understand your SSD scenario? &nbsp;We are talking about the db server not the web server correct? &nbsp;I am not sure the existing controller would allow an addition as you describe.

Can anyone give me come feedback as to the benefits of upgrading a raid controller for a db server? &nbsp;I have a Dell R510 with a PERC H700i 512 mb cache for a raid 10. &nbsp;Looking to go to a PERC &nbsp;H700A with 1 gb cache. &nbsp;Will this be worth the upgrade? &nbsp;This machine has a lot of i/o action unfortunately. &nbsp;Also the hyperthreading does not like some of the older sp code with am in the process of cleaning up. &nbsp;It runs Win 2008 with SS2008 R2.<br />
<br />
The web server is a Dell R410 and moving from 2 1 TB SATA drives on raid 1 to 4 x 15 k 300 gb SAS drives on a raid 5. &nbsp;I understand I will loose some space. &nbsp;It runs vmware standard with 3 vms two win2008 web servers and one linux web server. &nbsp;This server has always been slower that I expected but the vm setup appears to be very solid.<br />

Thanks for the feedback.

RAID Controller Upgrade for db server and web server

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
