I was also reading this: http://jrs-s.net/2013/05/17/kvm-io-benchmarking/

Conclusions
In the end, the recommendation is pretty clear – a ZFS zvol with ext4, qcow2 files, and writeback caching offers you the absolute best performance. (Using xfs on a zvol would almost certainly perform...
Looking at that link I do have a datacenter ssd: Samsung SSD 950 PRO 512GB NVMe
I also have a Samsung SSD 950 Pro that is a consumer drive that I have on another proxmox server that I will test now just to compare.
But I think it's has something to do with proxmox.
I just did an install using the Raw disk image and still the same results.
Update:
I tested with SATA and the Seq Write is up to 840MB/s.
But the 4k is still 18MB/s read and 28MB/s write. I tried setting cache to write-back make slow results.
Any other tips on how to speed up the write speeds...
Tested it with cache =Off.
The Seq Read = 1400MB/s.
The Seq Write = 500MB/s.
The Seq Write is a bit faster but still nowhere where it should be (at around 1000+)
The 4k is still the same at 2MB/s.
Format I selected when creating VM was: QEMU image format (qcow2).
I have a Samsung 950 PRO PCIe NVMe 512gb M.2.
I just installed Proxmox to test-out Windows Server 2016 in it.
I went with viostor because that's the only driver during the install windows accepted, expect for SATA and IDE but they are too slow.
Super fast read speeds!!! 6,550 MB/s.
But crazy...
