[6.10.0-rc8] Dell H730 & HBA330 Mini - Spin Up Performance Broken

I posted it in the other one, but her is my diagnostic file
with HBA330 Mini

tower-diagnostics-20220516-1415.zip

I don't see anything unusual in the diags.  Starting a parity check on spun-down drives will cause them to spin up via I/O, meaning there is no explicit "spin up" command sent to the drive, instead it spins itself up due to I/O.  The 'Spin-up All' button sends an explicit spin-up command to each drive, well actually it tells the drive to exit 'standby' state.  Maybe the controller or those drives, has some kind of power saving feature whereby spin-up by I/O leaves drive in an "in between" state where it's not at full performance in an effort to save power? - but that doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks for looking into this, I just want to clarify it's not just a parity check.. it's absolutely anything.

 

Transfering files disk to disk via MC, using diskspeed as a benchmarks..I'm assuming you looked at the video?

 

I will investigate later tonight, to see if I can find anything in the bios/idrac or controller regarding power savings.

 

 

I played with everything last night with zero luck....

Everything was set to performance, so no energy savings.....

I ordered some 8087 cables, I'm going to go from backplane direct to mobo
Bypass the HBA330, see if it still does it

So this... is direct connected to mobo..

So Backplane doing something? <- I doubt?
Enterprise drives? 

It was the dell drives... I put in some new 18tb wd pros... everything works fine...
