vSan stretched cluster Latency. PFTT=1, SFTT=1, Raid5

I am running HCIbench on a newly deployed homogeneous stretched cluster made of 14 cisco UCS c240M5 each with 2 disk groups each ( 400GB cache 5x1.9TB capacity all flash) w/ 2 10Gb VICs 2 fault domains (7 nodes on each site). Running on esxi 6.7. The site to site latency is between 1-3ms.

I am using the Easy run builtin test (56VMs total with 8vmdk-100ws-4k-70rdpct-100random-4threads) for vsan  and these are the results i am getting while testing a VM storage policy with PFTT=1, SFTT=1, Raid5. Deduplication and compression are enabled.

Are these latency numbers expected for this config/test.
