So i know i followed the freenas recommended hardware post to build this except the 750nvm being used as both Slog and Cache so please don't get mad :) So in a Win8 VM running off ISCSI Zvol based extent i was getting about 150MB Write and 400MB read before upgrading to the 750. I was using a 120GB Sandforce for slog (I know) and a 250GB Samsung 850Pro for Cache. Upon turning sync=disabled to find if that was my issue it shot to around 900MB write and still 400MB read. After the install of the 750 and sync=always i am now at about 700MB write and 600MB read. Tested using HDtunePro with file size 10,000MB and 512KB file length. All testing is done in a production environment with all VM's ruunning. While i know this is great performance i cant help but wonder why its not better.. My disks hardly get hit at all, Arc hit is around 90% and my network doesn't go above 6Gb/s. I am thrilled with my writes but i feel my reads could be much better. My L2Arc hardly gets touched so that's why i don't care to much about sharing with the stupid fast 750NVMe. I have tried some tunables with my network card and maybe got it abit faster but now i'm at a loss. The main reason i want faster reads is to decrease backup times. the servers basically just idle at all times but have a large amount of storage on them that takes forever to backup using Veam Incremental backups. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
