iSCSI vs NVME Host

Hi

I am testing NVME TCP/IP vs iSCSI hosts. I have 2 hosts in each vCenter clusters with same virtual machines that I am doing storage vMotion on them

2 hosts are added as NVME and 2 as iSCSI. when I perform storage vMotion iSCSI finishes it quick but NVME host takes almost 30 minutes. 

Both vms are windows with 500 GB THick eager zero disk. I was expecting that  NVME would finish faster

What do you think i misconfigured. Controllers discover is set to advertise DDC

Also in this documen

is it mandatory to use this particular port for NVME trafic. At this point we have storage connected directly to HPE Blade chasis synergy and we plan to do it once it is in production

Anything wrong with this settings. I am surprised that iSCSI does storage vMotion way faster then NVME TCP
