Pool consists of 24 450GB 10K 2.5 spinners hooked to a SAS3 backplane and a 3008 IT controller. I just configure this SC216 chassis to be my first SS storage box.

:( :rolleyes:

Not enough information ._.

Mirrors? Striped? Parity?
Do you use write cache devices?
Column size?
Allocation size?
Filesystem?
Chunk size?
:D

And yeah, I was disappointed too years ago when I was evaluating storage spaces. The lousy performance and limited expansion possibility are the reason why I still have to rely on hardware raid for the windows boxes ._.

It's striped with parity. Gonna check out the link now, thanks.
I haven't copied any data to it yet so I can always kill it and start over.
