Just tested the following:
- Host OS: WIN 10 Enterprise 1803
- Workstation Pro 15.0.2
- 1 VM with Guest OS: WIN 10 Enterprise 1803 running built-in vmware NMVe driver
The hardware is:
- Gigabyte Z390 MASTER M/B (Bios F6)
- Intel i9-9900K 8-core 3.6GHz CPU at stock
- Intel Optane 905P 960GB PCIe 3.0 x 4 NMVe card connected to CPU lanes (boos OS + VM running on this card)
- 64GB 2666Mhz RAM (4 x 16GB Kingston at stock speed)
- Nvidia Quadro P2000 5GB graphics card
CrystalDiskMark shows that the VM when using the vmware NVMe driver runs about 40% slower on 4KQ1 random R/W compared to when running SAS SCSI driver. I remember seeing something similar with WKST 14, so its still not fixed.
Anybody have better results?
VMWARE, can you please fix this? Thanks.
