13 Best Practices for Deploying a Mixed 1Gb/10Gb Ethernet SAN using Dell Storage PS Series Arrays | BP1008
Comparison of 1Gb initiator connecting to 1Gb and 10Gb storage targets
The information shown in Figure 8 identifies some differences in sequential I/O performance. After moving the
target volumes over to the 10Gb array, there was a decrease in sequential write performance and an increase
in sequential read performance. However, there was negligible performance difference for random I/O.
Figure 9 illustrates the I/O flow paths for the 1Gb initiator accessing volumes in separate speed pools or
volumes in a mixed speed pool. Figure 10 shows the comparison of performance between volumes being
accessed on separate speed pools and on a single mixed speed pool.
