Ah, that's the problem we have with our H700s. We do single drive
raid0s to get around it, but it's not ideal. Do you have two drives in
a raid1 or just a single drive?
Some other things we've noticed on our Dell machines:
- Writeback cache is pretty much faster than writethrough cache on all
of our tests, even sequential writes.
- Concurrent writers to a single raid group seem to tank performance. I
still don't know why this is, but it's making buffered IO and any direct
IO with more than one writer top out at about 95MB/s regardless of the
number of drives in the raid group. (And more writers slower
performance more).

+1 to that. I've been seeing 4-6 MB/s for 4K writes for 1 OSD with 1 SSD for
journal and another for data [1]. Interestingly I did see some nice scaling
with 4K random reads: 2-4 MB/s per thread for up to 8 threads (looked like
it plateaued thereafter).

[1] FYI not on the box I posted about before - on a more modern pc with
6Bbit/s SATA.

5) rados bench tests with smaller requests could be interesting on 15k
drives. I typically see about 1-2MB/s per OSD for 4k requests with 7200rpm
SATA disks.
