How did you configure the array? If you did a single RAID-Z2 say then uncached reads are limited about what a single disk will do. Writes should saturate though.
Yes I did use Raid-Z2 as I figured that was best for the 12 drives I had.
I will be honest that moving to a pure NVMe setup means I never have to read another long article about how to tweak my spinning disk setup for performance and all the tradeoffs to consider. It is honestly freeing, and just feels like discarding old baggage. I do recommend it.
That explains it. And yes, NVMe is the future. I have a small 4x 2TB NVMe array for all my Docker/VM stuff and it's so great, got them when they were dirt cheap.
Sadly it's a very costly proposition these days though, so hope they live for a few more years.
