Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal?

  Interesting. SMART looks pristine on both drives. Brand new drives - Exos X22. Doesn’t mean there isn’t an impending problem of course.

    You could just swap the two disks and see if it follows the drive or the link.

    If the drive, rma it. I don’t put a lot of faith in smart data.

      Turns out the on-CPU SATA controller isn’t available when the NVMe slot is used. 🫢 Swapped SATA ports, no diff. Put the low IOPS disk in a good USB 3 enclosure, hooked to an on-CPU USB controller. Now things are flipped:

                                              capacity     operations     bandwidth 
      pool                                  alloc   free   read  write   read  write
