Maybe it would be a good ideer to create a new template for the results, that does not take up so much space in the thread.
And maybe a template to upload the result to a file for easy of download-import-compare results.
Oh yeah .. Someone should take all the results from the old thread and implement into the new template and post them to this thread..

STORAGE TYPE / DISK NUMBER / RAID LEVEL: VMDK/VMFS via FC to SANmelody mirror
2x SANmelody 2.04 update 1 with a LUN each from the same array: HDS AMS2100 with 15x 10k SAS 400gb. 2gb cache.
SANmelody has 8gb ram - The LUN is spread on (long description gone short) 15 spindles.

I know the first test - 100% read is off because of the 100% on vCPU = time is foooked.
But the other results are pretty impressive. or whats our opinion?
Forgot to mention... These tests was done while in production. So there was 30 vm working against the same SANmelody servers. (On a different ESX servers offcourse. )
Raid description gone long:
2 RAID5 groups with 7+1 10k SAS 400gb disks
In each Raid group we create 4x 640gb disks - so in total 8 disk of 640gb
Take on 640gb disk from each group and create a lun of 1280gb which is presented to the Datacore server. One for each which put in a pool where from i create a Virtual Vol as a VMFS to ESX. On the VMFS i create a VMDK to the VM, where i testing on.
Sorry, but its a bit detailed.

Description added.
In short the test lun spread on every disk. Almost like EVA storage systems.
