Re: [Parts Check] HDD WEI score greater than 5.9Sounds right HDD 5.9. I think Raid is around 6.2 WEI. I dont remember.
SSD is 7.x score I notice. |

I could be wrong but even hdd raid doesn't crack 5.9 in that stupid score. I have a raid0 that does over 200 MB/s and still 5.9. |

Nope. RAID 0 with 15k SAS drives still doesn't break 5.9 WEI. |

SSD is 7.x score I notice. in Win8 the score max goes to 9.9, though I haven't loaded Win8 on a SSD system so.. this WEI pic is from a ESXi VM with 4x 15k SAS drives in raid 5 with 512 Battery backed cache with Win8 (the vmware video driver failed to load btw) |

Windows 8 wont install on my 50gb Vertex 2 LOL. I hope it would install on my 60gb.. =S. I am waiting for W8 retail to come out first now. |

I would test on the other ESXi (ie the production one but I'm not updating that host just to load a win8 vm)
the production ESXi has 8x 15k SAS drives in raid 5 w/ 512mb BBWC |

I think VMWare just uses something like an low end SVGA virtual video card. It might also have 8 or 16MB VRAM. |

Ya the vram is change-able (ie you can set it to whatever you want) but it's unable to start the driver provided by vmware tools even if it did I doubt it would change the score much |

It dosen't. I tried playing RA3 on a Win7 virtual machine using a thin client for kicks, and it lacked the ability to be anything greater than a slideshow. |

did you up the vvram (virtual video ram) that you allocated to it? |

Of course. It has to do again with the drivers, and the way VDI works. VDI in general is horrible for most things that require lots of graphics processing power. |

ya, just checking
imo someday VMware should make ESXi able to use cuda power to give VM's more power
then you could add on a tesla unit such as the Tesla M2090
btw does upping the VVram have any effect? |
