Just AHCI configured as far as I remember.

Microcloud has AFAIR additional settings for delaying disk spin and enablink/disabling hotswap, but mangling these options does not change anything for me

What you mean by MC vs 5017?

platform name: MicroCloud vs 5017C-MTF, both based on the same chipset

How are you measuring disk speed?

the simplest: dd if=/dev/ada0 of=/dev/null bs=1m count=16k (linear read 16g at the beginning of disk)

I'm seeing the following here:-
* ada0: <WDC WD1003FBYX-01Y7B0 01.01V01> ATA-8 SATA 2.x device: gives 109MB/s
* ada1: <Corsair Force 3 SSD 1.3> ATA-8 SATA 3.x device: gives 114MB/s
So both pretty reasonable although not fantastic.

What value do you have for sysctl vfs.read_max?

default for both cases, 8

Try 32 that's what we have here set here.

Not sure its been released yet but we where running a pre-release BIOS which
added the ability to disabled C1E, which caused us CPU performance issue in
are particular environment.
