Emy,
I was wondering how much if any improvement I'd see with Gluster storage
moving to oVirt 4.4/CentOS 8x (but have not made the switch yet myself).
You should keep in mind that your Perc controllers aren't supported by
CentOS 8 out of the box, they dropped support for many older controllers.
You should still be able to get it to work using a driver update disk
during install. See:

Either way, this is good to know ahead of time as to limit surprises!

i found the problem.
The kernel version in Centos 7.8 with version 3.x.x is really too old and
does not know how to handle fine new SSD disks or RAID Controllers with
latest BIOS Updates applied.
Booting and Archlinux latest iso image with kernel 5.7.6 or a Centos 8.2
with kernel 4.18 increased the performance at the right values.
I run multiple dd tests on the above images using bs of 10, 100 and 1000M
and had aconstant write speed of 1.1GB/s.This is the expected value for 2
SSD in RAID 0.
I had also enabled cache settings on the Dell Perc 710 Raid controller :
Write Cache set to "Write Back", disk cache set to "Enabled", read
cache to
"Read Ahead".For those who think "Write back" is a problem and the
data
might be corrupted, this should be ok now with the latest filesystem xfs or
ext4 , that can recover in case of power loss.To make data safer, i also
have a Raid cache battery and UPS redundancy.
Now i know i must run ovirt 4.4 with Centos 8.2 for good performance.
I saw that Upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 is not an easy task, multiple fails
and not quite straight forward(i also have hosted engine on the shared
Gluster Storage which makes this ipgrade even more difficult), but
eventually i think i can get it running.
Thanks,
Emy
