Your estimates are actually very close. It was about 80-90 non turbo. Turbo right now is about 160. Is there a guide for setting up a zfs raidz2 pool? Would be curious to set one up and test the results. As I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering if I can get Veeam to interact with Unraid as NFS would also net some improvement over SMB.

Is that something that can be set up with Unraid, or should I look for an alternative? (assuming turbo write doesn't improve it enough)

Understood and makes sense. What about only 1 array drive receiving all the writes. Is there a way to utilize multiple disks to increase the write? Right now only 1 of the array drives is receiving activity when writing the data.

First off, I'd like to say that I am brand new to Unraid, and currently trialing it. The first share that I would like to utilize is for our Veeam backup. I am getting rather slow performance to the share and I'm pretty certain I don't have a good configuration for the drives. The array has 2x 10tb parity drives, 6x 10tb storage drives, and a 2tb SSD cache drive. When I look at the overall status, the cache drive gets almost no read / writes, the two parity drives and only 1 storage device has any activity on it. I am assuming there is a way to configure the share to initially hit the cache drive, and then spread the data across multiple drives to increase the throughput. At this point, if a re-build is needed, I am ok with that. I would rather set it up properly for optimal performance. Veeam is connecting via SMB share to Unraid. Thank you in advance.
