I have to correct it: I rebuild the SSD-RAID and used now an RAID 0 instead of RAID 6 for caching. So now I get about 10.000 IOPS with writing 4k blocks . I think this is a) ok and b) it is not a bcache problem I suspect it is a problem of the raid controller, but I have no clue which one... Probably it is a better decision to use a separate raid controller for SSD (b)cache...
