Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM working good so far

Thanks your experiences will be helpful as I'm a total noob with the Duo.
Sorry I can't advise on the Jumbo frames; but I also wouldn't think they'd have any effect on a directly attached caddy drive as it's a network and not USB parameter.
I'm also restricted by having 100mb network. In my initial test with a WD20EARS 2TB drive I was only getting 10-11 MB/s ( over the network writing to and from my hard drive and also to and from a portable (USB powered) drive - 11MB/s is close to the maximum 100mb network can support (11MB x 8 = 88mb), I should say I was testing with about 5Gb of large (300mb) files which would be far faster than 5Gb of 2Kb files. When I tested with the same portable drive USB attached to the NAS I only got 6MB/s between it and the NAS - (weird).
Once I finish work I'll maybe do some more experiments with "Enable fast CIFS writes" etc.
I look forward to seeing how the F4 drives perform once you finally get them in the Duo ;-)
