SubjectAnomaly with 2 x 840Pro SSDs in software raid 1
Hello,

We have a troubling server fitted with 2 840Pro Samsung SSDs. Besides
other problems addressed also here a while ago (to which I have still
found no solution) we have one more anomaly (or so I believe).

Although both SSDs worked 100% of the time their wear is very different.
/dev/sda has a wear of 95% while /dev/sdb has a wear of 77%. The total
number of LBAs is different only by 9.76%. But the wear level is with
463.75% higher for sdb.

Shouldn't these be proportional?

A 'iostat -x' returns this:

Shouldn't also the %util of 2 members of the same raid-1 array be the
same? Also svctm seems very different by a similar factor of x5.

A little background info about the system:
- CentOS 6.4
- Linux 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 12 03:34:52 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- E3-1270v2, 16GB RAM, SuperMicro SYS-5017C-MTRF, 2 x Samsung 840 Pro
512GB in mdraid-1
- cat /proc/mdstat
md0 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
204736 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU]
md2 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0]

md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]

Kind regards!
