Sorry, I read "SDD" where you had written "HDD" :) Is this a hardware RAID ? Or is this using dm/md raid ? > If using Fio libaio iodepth=128 numjob=2, the bad performance will be as below > in red.

You could look at a blktrace of each case to see if there is any major difference in the command patterns sent to the disks of your array, in particular command size. -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research
