FlashSoft TM and <strong>SanDisk</strong> ® Enterprise Storage<br />
Solutions (ESS) recently conducted a performance test<br />
using <strong>SanDisk</strong> Lightning ® Enterprise Flash Drives<br />
(EFDs) to provide a high-performance cache in a<br />
server running Windows Server 2008 R2. For the test,<br />
we ran a commonly-used <strong>OLTP</strong> benchmark suite on<br />
<strong>MS</strong>-<strong>SQL</strong> Server.<br />

<strong>OLTP</strong> <strong>Performance</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>MS</strong>-<strong>SQL</strong><br />
Three configurations were tested:<br />
1) Baseline performance for the server was established<br />
by determining the TPM score for the server <strong>with</strong> a<br />
high performance RAID 5 array comprising 15 SAS<br />
HDDs, at 15,000 rpm. TPM-C: 3,323<br />
2) The same server and disk array, <strong>with</strong> two <strong>SanDisk</strong><br />
LB 150S EFDs in RAID 1 configuration enabled as a<br />
cache for server IO. TPM-C: 12,985<br />
3) The same server and disk array, <strong>with</strong> two <strong>SanDisk</strong><br />
LB 150S EFDs in RAID 0 configuration enabled as a<br />
cache for server IO. TPM-C: 13,795
