These numbers are not helpfull without context :

   - Raid level
   - Number of disks
   - nature & size of files

What do you get for this sample?
dd if=/dev/zero of=sample.txt bs=50M count=1

Test it accross differents cases to get a baseline:

   - Local disk on client
   - Locak disk on each brick
   - through gluster from client

Once you have your baseline, you can start to tune system and see changes
based on it.

>> If i write to distributed volume, I get 16 MB/sec
