random ZFS performance in raidZ but peak in btrfs raid 5

i need any advice on how the f*** my machine can run *full speed* (or close enough)  with btrfs raid 5 but with zfs the speed is up and down every 3 seconds :S

drives are mixed ,but all of them work flawless in btrfs ,and not in zfs ,i have no explanation :/

Also i checked bottlenecks and i see none  ,this motheboard is a erying i5 12500h with turbo off (turbo on is the same) 32 gb ddr4 3200 hyper X beast ,and for the drives i use a nvme to sata converter ,yeah is not the best option but the only pci express x16/x8 is for the intel x520-1 card. Drives are al 4*8tb HGST shucked except 1 toshiba nas 8tb drive

also is not a pci express bottleneck and is not the nvme to sata converter. im open to suggestions ,until its fixed i will remain in btrfs raid 5 i guess . Also checked drives/controller with the diskspeed community tool and everything was perfect. iperf3 ruled out network problems ,and even if they were network related i guess btrfs would also have problems ?

 

ill attach some screenshoots of a 60gb file copy so everyone can understand better.

 

with and without jumbro frames the speed is the same ,so...

 

could if be the samba options?

 

server multi channel support = yes
aio read size = 1
aio write size = 1
interfaces = "192.168.1.5;capability=RSS,speed=10000000000"

 

thank you in advance.

 

sorry for language ,im from spain :)

Can't really explain what you see, possibly zfs doesn't like one or more hard drives, can you try with 1M recordize? Performance should improve a least a little:

 

zfs set recordsize=1M pool_name

 

It will only affect new writes.
