The performance degradation is from 16GB/s to 2GB/s, Do you know any bugs related to this?

Can you help us?

Start by running yum update to get all the latest updates and see if the problem is already fixed. The current CentOS 7 kernel is 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7 so your running one is quite out of date.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
