Is there some magic that > load balances the 4 SAS ports as this shows up as one "scsi-bus"? Hypothetically, yes. In practical terms, though, I've seen more than 300 MB/s of I/O over it: capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read write read write ----------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- data1 1.06T 1.21T 1 1.61K 2.49K 200M mirror 460G 236G 0 522 1.15K 63.8M c4t18d0 - - 0 518 6.38K 63.6M c4t21d0 - - 0 518 12.8K 63.8M mirror 467G 229G 0 533 306 64.8M c4t23d0 - - 0 523 6.38K 64.3M c4t25d0 - - 0 529 0 65.0M mirror 153G 775G 0 597 1.05K 71.8M c4t20d0 - - 0 589 12.8K 72.5M c4t22d0 - - 0 584 0 71.8M ----------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
Note that the pool is only doing 200 MB/s, but the individual devices are doing a total of 400 MB/s. It's not possible to put more than 300 MB/s into or out of a single device, so there's no "link aggregation" to worry about.
