I'm seeing very poor performance from Tiered Storage Spaces, hoping someone can help idendity what I am doing wrong.

  • I have 2x256GB SSDs and 2x2TB HDDs.
  • Individual drives perform as expected
  • My previous experience is that a two drive tiered storage space performs nearly as well as the SSD used in the tier
  • I am able to create tiered storage spaces with two or four drives.
  • Performance for two drive and four drive configurations is slightly better than the HDD performance and far from the SSD performance
  • I'm using DISKSPD.EXE to measure performance

The relevant informantion is listed below, let me know if there is anything other information that may be helpful. Thanks for taking a look.
