HI everyone so my work is having a few issues as we have just took on a new large client and they are absolutely smashing our nas on freenas which is causing performance issues, we have 12x4tb disks in raid6 which gives us plenty of capacity but when i benchmarks the ZFS array we're only getting 150Mbps read/write which is just not enough, anyone know some good and fast solutions?

Im guessing a raid10 option would probably be faster...(but less space of course..)

You need to look at the NAS as a system and verify that it is the RAID type that is a problem. It could be network, CPU, RAM, RAID controller that is your limitation. Have you searched for ZFS tuning to verify you have appropriate options set?
