Hello, I have a pool on a general file server with 6 x 2TB drives configured in a three-group mirror that are very old. The system, for all intensive purposes, appears to be working normally. The pool does not report as degraded. However, I have been trying to move certain files using rsync...

Sequential read speeds on my ZFS pool (4 vdevs, each a 2 x 6TB mirror) are not where I'd like them to be, at 80 - 130MB/S when moving large files around. My two main use cases for the pool are hosting VMs and moving large video files around. The VMs are performing fine but I'd like faster video...
