![]() ![]() A decent RAID controller like the P440 should only be about £250 max and it would blow the B140i out the water. I'd advise against using this for your Oracle DB VM but if you are happy with the performance and have decent backups and accept that this is not a recommended route then you could use this for the SSDs. Although it is important to take note of the second quote above, this isn't a real raid controller it is a low performant software raid controller. It will likely be a bottleneck extremely quickly but the performance might be high enough for what you need. The B140i isn't meant for what you are trying to do with it. The B140i does not feature write cache capability, and it uses a read cache that it carves from system memory" All of the RAID functions and calculations are performed by the OS drivers using server CPU and memory resources. ![]() "Unlike the more advanced HP Smart SAS HBA and HP Smart Array controllers, the B140i uses driver-based software RAID. "It is ideal for use to support OS boot devices or to provide basic protection for data that does not require significant storage performance"
