I need to think about this for a second. You’re saying the performance gains stop at two drives in raid striping. RAID10 in two strip two mirror would still bottleneck at 8 total lanes? I also need to see about the PERC being limited to 8 lanes - no offense - but do you have a source for that? Edit: never mind on source, I think you are exactly right [0] Host bus type 8-lane, PCI Express 3.1 compliant https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/Dell-PowerEdge-RAID-Controller-H740P.pdf https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-shee... To be fair; they have 8GB NV RAM, so it’s not exactly super clear cut how obvious a bottleneck would be.
