We were having performance issues initially on a S45 and decided to replace all drives (iirc had 8 drives initially) our 2 drive mirror pool gets ~700MB/s and our 14 drive mirror gets ~650MB/s. All drives are identical type

2 drive 1 vdev mirror pool with identical drives:
Code:
root@storage-03:/mnt/syslog # dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=8k count=256000256000+0 records in
256000+0 records in
256000+0 records out
2097152000 bytes transferred in 3.119743 secs (672219545 bytes/sec)


14 drive 7 vdev mirror pool with same identical drives as above:
Code:
root@storage-03:/mnt/pool # dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=8k count=256000
256000+0 records in
256000+0 records out
2097152000 bytes transferred in 3.210907 secs (653133830 bytes/sec)

Can you tell us a bit more about your setup? What kind of drives exactly are they? How full are your pools? What version of FreeNAS? How full are the pools? What kind of network connection are you using in typical use cases?
