my benchmark notes are a bit of a mess (but i ofcourse know whats what) so it might be hard to read, but i'll post this one since its easy to post.
I think best will be i'll post/share it , then if you have ? or need specifics of what i was running then ask and i'll answer / give more info. here is one i can grab now (its a huge excel SS so i figure best way is via google sheets share).
Ill post some others (that are in google docs , not excel format) nb; my freenas box is 11.1 or 11.2 and on baremetal x9dr3-ln4f+ , 128g ram, 9207-8i and 9207-8e with a 4u 846 TQ backplane (i move to an expander BP in my later tests in future docs ill post):
ZFS DISK BENCH SHEET _ JAN 2019 excel XLSx.xlsx
(those "new110" comparisons way off to the right are a windows box i have with adaptec 8 series raid as a comparison)
for somereason when you preview with google sheets the formatting looks correct, but when you open with google sheets, it looses
alot of the formatting.
NOTE ALOT OF THE NON COLORED text are results i copy/paste from
https://calomel.org/zfs_raid_speed_capacity.html
and then my own tests (with same type of pool) are in colored text
any windows images/screenshots you see, are run via SMB (or some iSCSI, but most smb) against xyz pool config (using 2012r2 on a separate esxi host, via 10g to the FN box).
unfortunately, it was only recently that i found that windows10 / srv 2016 gives you MUCH better SMB performance (i think because those OSs support SMB multi-streaming, which works better with freenas's single threaded SMB, ie with win7 or 2012r2 , even baremetal, i rarely get above 500-600mb with windows file copy, with win10 / 2016 i can get 1000 mb/s on a fast pool (ie a HGST ssd stripe'd pool)
some of the results i'll post tomoro have more of the SSD results, and are easier to read / follow. (alot of the Spreadsheet above was when i was only 1 month into learning FN, vs 3 or 4 months of playing with FN, now)

EDIT: this a 2nd set of benches and might be easier to follow (maybe :/ ) alot of the tests towards the top are from a RAID card on 2012r2 (not zfs), i did for my own comparisons. its a pdf of a google doc shared via google drive:

(page ~22 is where FN stuff is mostly, esp page 27)
