Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Optimizing NVMe Storage Arrays with RAID-10 (1543). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, tuned I/O schedulers, and careful stripe alignment. This article explores the interplay between NVMe queue depth, RAID-10 mirroring overhead, and CPU affinity for interrupt handling.
Key Challenges
- Write amplification from mirror writes across multiple controllers
- Latency spikes during rebuild operations
- NUMA-aware interrupt steering for multi-socket platforms
We validate each optimization with synthetic and production workloads on Votion Cloud's edge nodes.

Benchmark Results & Analysis
Our test matrix spans 4x Samsung PM1733 3.84TB drives in RAID-10 (mdadm) versus a single drive baseline. FIO profiles: randread, randwrite, rw 70/30, block sizes 4K-128K, iodepth 1-256.
Observations
- RAID-10 read throughput scales near-linearly (3.8x) up to QD64
- Write latency remains sub-100µs at 99th percentile due to parallel commit
- CPU utilization on IRQ-affinitized cores stays below 15% at 1M IOPS
