Hi,
I am trying to use either FreeNAS 11.x or TrueNAS 12.x and when trying to use either a USB flash stick or a USB NVME, the performance is poor. I am getting around 40MB/sec instead of either 100-200MB/sec with my HDD or ~600MB/sec with SDD. Even dd shows poor performance of around the same. I have seen threads in 2020 and earlier that describe the issue; I am simply posting an additional data point and suggest the issue be investigated and fixed. I downloaded Ubuntu 20.04 and set-up equivalent zfs drives on hdd and USB and this platform doesn't exhibit the issue.
BTW, is it possible to switch the underlying OS from FreeBSD to Linux? Or at least make it agnostic so that the end user can select it themselves? I am aware of the zfs legality.
Thanks,
Chris
