Notes:
- Number and type of applications, drive type and number of drives, operating system used, and the number of hosts will
affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab comparison. These numbers reflect a full array
configuration with the maximum number of front-end ports and controllers. The test results shown for the HPE MSA
2060 are designed to give a conservative reference point for comparisons.
- All performance numbers were captured using dual controller configurations.
- All performance numbers were captured using four volumes per pool.

Sequential tests (MB/s) are based on 256K block sizes and random tests (IOPS) are based on 8K block sizes. For
sequential workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to operate on a separate
LBA range. Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may achieve higher results. Results
cannot be expected with a single host.

Fibre Channel results were measured using 16 Gb FC Host Bus Adapters. SAS results were measured using 12 Gb
SAS Host
Bus Adapters. 10 GbE iSCSI results were measured using 10GbE iSCSI Host Bus Adapters. Hosts were directly
attached to the HPE MSA 2060 array.
