Comparison of MD3000i, MD3200i and MD3600i performance for Random Writes in Base Mode High Performance Tiering Option High Performance Tier (HPT) is an optional upgrade that can increase the performance of MD3600i and MD3620i series arrays that have a high drive count, solid state drives (SSDs) or high data transfer workloads. This implementation is based on an enhanced firmware algorithm and does not require any new hardware dependencies. Several factors determine the potential performance increase, including the array configuration, host, operating system, HBA, number and type of drives, and application workload. Page 6

workloads. This implementation is based on an enhanced firmware algorithm and does not require any
new hardware dependencies. Several factors determine the potential performance increase, including
