Question @mdgm.
This seems slower than expected... Is this normal for RAID Level X-RAID2, 6 disks (with dual redundancy).???
22.0 MB/s write to NAS
77.9 MB/s read from NAS
I don't have a Pro yet, but I'd like to get one. There are a number of factors which can effect speeds such as the performance settings you've made in Frontview, the speed of the hard disk in your computer, processor speed etc., what you are transferring e.g. large or small files? There is also other traffic on the network and other tasks being performed by the ReadyNas and I'm sure some other things I haven't mentioned to take into account.
Anyway, the Definitive Guide although it doesn't have speeds for dual-redundancy (it does have speeds for RAID-6) suggests that the Pro is capable of fairly similar read/write speeds (well a lot more similar than what yours are). Your read speeds look fairly good (not knowing your setup), but the write speeds do look a bit low.
