I have 6x Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSDs running in Raid-5 configuration using Sata 6.0g. I am fairly new to SSD performance levels, and know that 4k read/write can be a bit low, but less than 1MB/s is far from the levels I have seen in just one drive.
The test is still running as you can see, and the 4k speed is going to take more than 20 minutes to complete. I just wanted to get ideas from the community in case I am missing obvious.
Note: The interface says SCSI because it is a VMWare configuration setting, the interface is SATA to 10G fiber.
Update 1: slight mistake, one of the other techs moved it to the HDD array last night due to performance issues, but the issues continue to be proportionally just as slow. The issue might go beyond the hard drives, so I will include a bit more info: The computers are running on VMWare 5.1.0 using a virtual SCSI appliance (something we normally do).
