Hi I have a HP Z4 G4 Xeon (4LF13EC#ABU) with the following disk configuration

 

1 x MVME

2 x 6tb in a RAID 1 configuration Seagate hard disk (SATA ports 0 and 1)

1 x 6tb Seagate hard disk

 

No issue with the MVME (3533 MB/s  read 2076 MB/s write)

No issue with the stand-alone 6tb Seagate (224 MB/s  read 220 MB/s write)

 

However, the RAID 1 pair of 6tb Seagates has very poor performance (68 MB/s  read 5 MB/s write)

It is taking more than a day for the drives to initialize yet I see no disk activity to suggest this is actually working on it

 

I don't think there is a fault with the disks as I get expected performance when used as separate drives and not in a raid configuration

 

Seagate tools also does not report any errors

 

Are there any configuration changes I can make to improve performance?

Is this a driver issue?

Are there any logs I can read to discover what is causing the poor performance

 

any advice or support on helping me resolve this performance issue would be gratefully received
