If I have four SATA 6 Gbps SSDs, what's faster:
Option 1: Put all four SSDs into a stripped zpool using ZFS on Linux/CentOS, on a head node, and exporting that ZFS pool over NFS over RDMA?
Option 2: Put all four SSDs into a stripped RAID array using XFS, on a head node, and exporting that RAID array over NFS over RDMA?
Option 3: Put one SSD into each of my compute nodes (four nodes in total), and format that as either ZFS or XFS (or ext4), and then use GlusterFS over RDMA?
I am looking for maximum usable capacity and speed.
Thank you.

Well measure your particular use cases!
I/O patterns are quite different for say a few large files versus lots of small files.
Anyway NFS is probably the problem ("NFS is ALWAYS the proble,m" - TM - you heard it here first )
