Solaris server read and write randomly slow

Hi!

It's been a week now that connections to my server are slow. I can transfer one file of 6 GB at 50 MB/s but with a folder of the same size with multiple files I go down to 4 MB/s. Also, browsing a folder with multiple files takes a lot more time for the files to show. The only thing I've noticed to change since that moment is one of my drives started blinking at a different pace, it's lit when all the others are not, like it's not in sequence.

Here is some more info on my setup

Code:
Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86

My server is zfs formatted with one big pool of 50TB. My clients are macs and pc's connected with smb and nfs

Code:
-bash-3.00# zpool iostat storage01
               capacity     operations    bandwidth
pool        alloc   free   read  write   read  write
----------  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
production  50.3T  25.7T    121     52  8.49M   963K

I'm kind of new with server maintenance and haven't been part of the initial setup, so I may be missing things who would be obvious to most sys admins, sorry in advance. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

NAME
cfs - cache file system SYNOPSIS
cfs -s [-rd] [-f partition] cfs -a netaddr [-rd] [-f partition] [mtpt] DESCRIPTION
Cfs is a user-level file server that caches information about remote files onto a local disk. It is normally started by the kernel at boot time, though users may start it manually. Cfs is interposed between the kernel and a network connection to a remote file server to improve the efficiency of access across slow network connections such as modem lines. On each open of a file cfs checks the consistency of cached information and discards any old information for that file. Cfs mounts onto mtpt (default /) after connecting to the file server. The options are: s the connection to the remote file server is on file descriptors 0 and 1. a netaddr dial the destination netaddr to connect to a remote file server. r reformat the cache disk partition. d turn on debugging f partition use file partition as the cache disk partition. All 9P messages except read, clone, and walk (see intro(5)) are passed through cfs unchanged to the remote server. A clone followed imme- diately by a walk is converted into a clwalk. If possible, a read is satisfied by cached data. Otherwise, the file server is queried for any missing data. FILES
/dev/hd0cache Default file used for storing cached data. SOURCE
