I’m syncoiding from my normal RAIDz2 to a backup mirror made of 2 disks. I looked at zpool iostat and I noticed that one of the disks consistently shows less than half the write IOPS of the other:
capacity operations bandwidth
pool alloc free read write read write
------------------------------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
storage-volume-backup 5.03T 11.3T 0 867 0 330M
mirror-0 5.03T 11.3T 0 867 0 330M
wwn-0x5000c500e8736faf - - 0 212 0 164M
wwn-0x5000c500e8737337 - - 0 654 0 165M
This is also evident in iostat:
f/s f_await aqu-sz %util Device
0.00 0.00 3.48 46.2% sda
0.00 0.00 8.10 99.7% sdb
The difference is also evident in the temperatures of the disks. The busier disk is 4 degrees warmer than the other. The disks are identical on paper and bought at the same time.
Is this behaviour expected?
On paper it should support it. I’m assuming it’s the ASRock AB350M. With a certain BIOS version of course. What’s wrong with it?
It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.
Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.
