<p>I would be really supprised if the problem was related to Idrac.</p>
<p>The Idrac processor is a stand alone cpu with its own nic and
runs independent of the main CPU.</p>
<p>That being said it does have visibility into the whole system.</p>
<p>try using dmidecode to compare the systems and take a close look
at the raid controllers and what size and form of cache they have.<br>

the couple that have express perform well. I use the disks in

they all perform well even though some of them are very old.
I've also tried disabling Idrac, the Idrac nic, virtual storage
for Idrac with no sucess..<br>

Did you check battery of raid controller? Do you use disks
