Datastore sizes are different: 3,2 TiB (320 GiB occupied) on the slower machine, 500 GiB (60 GiB occupied) on the faster one. Success rates are much different throughout, ranging from 31% vs. 0.1% in favor of the faster machine (client cache CHK) to 1.2% vs. 4.8% (store CHK) with the slower machine ahead in this case. Can't see a pattern.

But please don't waste too much time on this, I just thought there might be a simple answer. I will search for a Linux tool to check the I/O queue depths of the slower harddisk and report back if that seems to be the cause.

Best regards,

Wolfram
