I see a lot of people here on the forums that use the Supermicro cases. We just purchased a couple 846E26-R1200B servers and absolutely love them!
I'm coming from an HP server background, and what we have done with our SQL servers is install 2 to 3 HP P810 controllers. We created multiple RAID 10 volumes on HP DAS. By creating multiple volumes across multiple controllers, we get better performance in SQL. I was trying to apply that same theory to the Supermicro servers using two LSI MegaRAID SAS 93610-8i controllers. It appears that I can only use one controller to control all my drives. We are running both STEC SSDs and Samsung data center SSDs, along with some Seagate Savvio 10k drives.
I'm hoping to get as much performance out of the server to beat the HP DL580 w/ HP P810 RAID controllers.
Has anybody tried running multiple controllers in the Supermicro servers?
Cheers,
