Are you booting off a flash drive instance of TruNAS (recommended setup afaik)? If so, is it USB 3 on both ends?

Other than that, just make sure the drives are 7200rpm and latest SATA spec should be fine. I don't use TruNAS itself, but use zfs pools on two physical hosts, which is what TruNAS is using "under the hood"

So, I would check your boot media to begin with, then check which SATA implementation you have 1.5, 3, or 6 ... Mbps, and rpms of hard drive.

Good luck.

Does anyone know the best hardware or software setup for TruNAS?  I setup trunas a few months ago, and really like it.  minus really poor performance. Which might be my hardware. The internet has just confused me more.    Searching and reading speeds of Sata, SSD, and pcie is not straight. . .  I am not sure where to even look to make changes for the better. 

Right now I have a AMD phenom II 6x with 16gig and 1 gig Ethernet.  With seven Sata drives 2 of which are hot spares. 

My thoughts now. Are as follows. 

Pcie Sata card? Better nic?  More ram?  Bad settings?   

Any help would be wonderful.
