There's a Poweredge T410 that's sitting in one of our offices. It does exactly what we need out of it - but the access time could definitely be faster as there are a lot of different things going on with it. Currently it's running 4x 300Gb 15K SAS drives through a PERC H700A. It's running Windows Server 2008 R2 and at the moment this is unlikely to change.
Any replacement will need similar capacity but be appreciably faster.
What could I do in terms of changing this setup for the better? I'm assuming that if I just go and swap the drives with something like the Seagate 1200's the PERC will become the bottleneck...? And in which case, how much of a bottleneck? Is there a better way?
I'd appreciate any input.
