Volume Performance and Configuration on ReadyDATA Platforms 
Drag and Drop Performance
The following figure shows that a hybrid volume with SSD boost disks and a RAID 5+0 x4 
volume provide the highest average drag and drop throughput. A RAID 10 volume provides 
the highest throughput for read operations. All volumes provide good throughput for write 
operations.
Figure 19. Drag and drop performance on SAN volumes with SATA disks
The following figure shows that a RAID 10 volume and a RAID 5+0 x4 volume provide the 
highest average drag and drop throughput. A RAID 10 volume provides the highest 
throughput for read operations. All volumes provide a rather limited throughput for read 
operations.

Random Read and Write Performance
The following figure shows that a RAID 10 volume provides the highest performance for 
random read and write operations. A RAID 5 volume and a RAID 6 volume provide low 
performance.
