The charts below show the results of our testing. With RAID 10 enabled on the enterprise SATA and value SAS SSDs, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd server configured with SATA SSDs achieved 2,779 database transactions per second. The server configured with value SAS SSDs from KIOXIA boosted that number of transactions to 4,771, a performance improvement of 71 percent. The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd server configured with data center NVMe SSDs, meanwhile, produced 5,987 transactions per second—115 percent more than the configuration with enterprise SATA SSDs. With RM5 Series value SAS and CD5 Series data center NVMe SSDs, your business could run far more transactions per second, letting you serve more customers on the same server.
