HGST 200GB 12Gb/s SAS Drive connected to LSI 3008 HBA on my SM motherboard.
(Note; I didn't flash to IT firmware or update firmware so it's whatever came on it at the moment.)
Drive used as ESXI data store with windows 10 VM on it, and benchmarked via CDM.
LSI3008 passed-through to Napp-IT (OmniOS) VM running ZFS. Single drive, sync=disabled, record=4k
Left = Default VM Setup (E1000, no jumbo, no tuning tcp packet)
RIght = VMXNET3, MTU=9000 on vswitch & omnios & tcp packet increase
The reads are now practically identical to the ESXI Datastore (not passed) but the writes are still 50% of the direct datastore in esxi. (Note: Sync=off).
Anyone have tips on the writes?
