Pryker, Test your environment with NULL I/O. Perform the read and write and check the performance which should attains around 100MB/s. If not so the problem would be around IET on your environment, Else the problem may be attained with your disk I/O or back-end driver.
Thanks Gopala krishnan Varatharajan.
