Thank you for suggesting this. However, I recently went through my file =
systems to fix disk alignment. I ended up aligning them to 1M blocks, =
which raised the throughput from 6M/s to about 60-80MB/s which is what I =
am seeing today.

Do you think I need to revisit alignment?

Change is good. Granted, it is good in retrospect, but change is good.
