AD194A Fibre Channel Throughput in rx6600
• Disk write traffic achieved link rate on the rx6600 with one port achieving 412 MB/s
and two ports reaching 824 MB/s.
• Disk read traffic on one port achieved link rate of 412 MB/s on the rx6600 system.
• Disk read traffic on two ports achieved 498 MB/s on the rx6600 system which is 132%
of the equivalent AB465A disk read performance.
