I am trying to test drives. Once upon a time I did it. But something has clearly changed in the ACT utility. The results are very strange. Server: dell r440, perc h330, each disk is RAID0, disk SAMSUNG PM883, 894.3 GiB. RAID configuration:
Read Policy No Read Ahead
Write Policy Write Through
Stripe Size 64K

Yes, an hour is not enough. But actually I have tested this before and the results are no better. And this test is for clarity. I also tested on a Dell HBA330 controller. The results are similar. I still have tests with a Perc H730 controller two years ago (values are approximate)
1% - 1.34
2% - 0.64
When testing without a controller on a dell r340 server, for example, there are no problems. As a result, this r440 server works very well in production. But how to use the ACT utility correctly in order to immediately see the correct result?
