is that the source as well as the target storage?
if not please benchmark both

this looks too high for the storage array, so i guess something is
off with the benchmark (may be cache or missing filename parameter)
and the size is too little (i'd use something that cannot fit
into the cache)

in any case, i'd do read and write benchmarks seperately
as well as setting iodepth and numjobs to 1, to get a baseline
single thread performance

as i wrote in my previous message, check out examples at:
