Are you sure your problem is not HDD related ?
what this show you:```hdparm -tT /dev/sda
You should get somethink like this:[root@guepardo ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 3020 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1510.37 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 216 MB in 3.02 seconds = 71.53 MB/sec
[root@guepardo ~]#This is my own server (Dell GX280 + 1TB SATA1 HDD) Do you can see the SATA1 by 1.5GB/sec and the important number is the other one: Timing buffered disk reads: 216 MB in 3.02 seconds = **71.53 MB/sec** The greater the better! I've seen +150 on SATA2 with lots of cache… and 3.x MB/sec on a linux + old kernel (2.4.x) + SATA HDDs! -
hdparm -tT /dev/sda
It's a linux tool for hard disks.
Pfsense is build on freebsd platform.
