Dell EquaLogic PS4000 Basic Performance Stats

[J1mbo]

I wondered if anyone can help me understand the basic numbers for the above (or the PS6000 series) with 16x 15K SAS disks in RAID-5, standard config. Dell seem extremely reticent to provide any actual numbers which is concerning me.

For example HP provide for their P4000 numbers for,

• Sequential read/write MB/s

• Random IOPS 4KB (3GB partition IIRC)

• Random IOPS 8KB (as above)

Many thanks in advance.

Please award points to any useful answer.
