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?
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.
I think the board has reached the end of the road. 😅
Sorry I 'ever saw this, that sucks.
Turns out mine was broken too. I put the CPU in my gaming rig and it worked fine, so I bought a new motherboard and the problem is gone.
Iiinteresting. I’m on the larger AB350-Gaming 3 and it’s got REV: 1.0 printed on it. No problems with the 5950X so far. 🤐 Either sheer luck or there could have been updated units before they officially changed the rev marking.
