New SSD P2500 single write latency high

[gyao2]

hello，

we have four P2500 SSD, the size is 480GB. These SSDs are new and don't have any data yet.

I formated it as Xfs, and mount it. But, when I write 1KB data, the latency is about 200ms, the same as 10KB、100KB. But, when I add IO pressure, it is OK.

I test it with dd command.

I use blktrace to analyze the entire IO process, the latency from vfs to driver is OK, and only the latency of disk device is high, anout 200ms.

I can't explain the phenomenon, and I need your help.

Thank you very much for your response.
