Hi.
Currently I have a SUPERMICRO server with FreeNAS installed and due to the good performance of it, I acquired 2 more servers, in this case, DELL, to expand the infrastructure.
On paper, the DELL servers are more powerful, but I am detecting that they are performing much worse than the SUPERMICRO.
Can you help me to know the cause of that performance?
I'll show you all the data:

Tips:
The DELL servers have a replication task activated between them.
Of course, performance tests are performed when this task is not active.

Thanks for all.
