Hi, We purchased Samsung PM883 3.84TB SSDs to be used as BlueStore SSDs in our cluster. I ran some benchmarks (write cache disabled, and with -sync=1 and -fsync=1) but with my little understandig, the results look terribly bad. (iops around 82!) Reading pages like yourcmc.ru, we should at least aim for > 1000s IOPS. (like 10000 up to 20000) Here is our complete output:

The disk seems to be properly detected properly by the OS:

Anyone with a idea what we could be doing wrong? Or are these disks really unsuitable for OSD use? MJ
