I have a sp3420gplc with 6 Seagate 7200 1TB drives in raid 5 with Hotspare. I am using the onboard matrix raid. I have server 2008 r2 installed. If I copy a 2Gb file from the desktop to another folder on the desktop data transfer speeds is like 1MB /s. I'm using. Driver version 11.6.0.1030 for the matrix raid. Here are the firmware versions.
--------------------------------------
BIOS Version....... S3420GP.86B.01.00.0051
BMC Firmware Version:
Op Code....... 01.25
PIA.............. 01.25
Boot Code.............. 00.22
ME Firmware Version:
Boot Code: NOT SUPPORTED
HSC Firmware Version:
Boot Code: 2.17
SDR Version:
SDR version: SDR Package 0.18
I think this issue is related to server 2008 cause I have 4 other servers that are Intel with the same OS and the speeds are a little better but not by much.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know I have been troubleshooting this for a while now.
