It seems faster, or it's my imagination...

Not your imagination. The new server is an order of magnitude faster.

Old server was a VM running on a single RAID 0 array. OS, transaction logs and data all on same spinning-disk volume.

New server is non-virtualized, newer processors, and has separate drives for OS, database transaction logs and data.

There are two RAID 0 arrays (OS and tran logs) and one RAID 5 array for data with a live failover drive. And the drives are all flash.

4.7 TB of server flash drives aren't cheap. This is an amazing toy and will benefit our wonderful community greatly.

It is also very quiet, which it should be, considering the fan is the only moving part. My office sounded like an airport building the last server.
