I know we have a few users with the 7-series Adaptec cards using maxCache 3.0 so I'm hoping that they'll weigh in.
I'm currently using a 6805 with a RAID 10 of 8x4tb drives - Seagate ST4000DX000 drives for my storage on my Hyper-V server. Performance is good but I think storage is the slow point of my system. I'm currently moving my virtualization platform to vSphere 5.1 so now is the time to redo storage.
I'm thinking of buying a 7805q with a pair of Mushkin 480gb SSDs (already have one) and using 6 of the 4tb drives in RAID 6. The capacity will be the same, but if the performance numbers from the 71605q thread are to believed, I will see a tremendous increase in IOPS for my array.
Thoughts?
