SubjectRe: read performance is too low compared to write - /dev/sda1
If you are robocoping small files you will hit other limits.

Best I have seen with small files is around 30 files/second, and that
involves multiple copies going on. Remember with a small files there
are several reads and writes that need to be done to complete a create
of a small file and each of these take time. 30 files/second ~ 30ms
per file, not that bad considering that on a real spinning disk a
single read/write op is 5-10ms, and creating the file entry, copying
data and closing the file takes several operations (at least create
file entry, write small amount of data, update file entry
date/time/info). If the write in the middle is not a significant
amount of data, the 2 extra ops are what hurts.
