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...

Best regards

Dirk
