I am trying to get faster speeds out my Pegasus2 R4 (2TBx4). According to both AJA and Blackmagic speedtest utilities, I am getting an average of 383MB/s Write & 300MB/s Read on a 4GB test file. Is this normal? I was expecting a little faster, especially when reading.
My settings are as follows:
Host: MacPro (2013) w/32GB RAM running OSX 10.12.5
Spotlight is off
Raid 5
Latest firmware
1MB Stripe Size
Forced Read Ahead Enabled (Controller Settings)
Volume is 20% full

Is it possible to replace the stock hard drives that came with my Pegasus2 R4, with SSDs?
If so, do they have to be 3.5" or can I use 2.5" SSDs?
What are the recommended SSDs? (Same as for the Pegasus2 M4?)
Thank you...
