Hi,

The system already has a SSD (ATASTECZeusIOPS018GBytesSTM0000D905C) as ZFS log device.

I apologize, I should know better than to answer before the first cup of
coffee :-P

NFS writes from only one host are not the problem. Even with may small files it is almost as fast as a Netapp. Problem arises when doing the same parallel from n hosts. E.g. the same write from 10 hosts lasts 10 times longer. On the Netapp the same from 10 hosts takes only 2-3 times longer. Network bandwith is also not the problem here.

We would need more info before we could proceed.  Can you collect
some iostat data?
        iostat -zxnT d 1

The "raidz acts like a single disk" for IOPS is felt on small, random read
workloads.  Random write workloads perform better.
