Hi Knorrhane,
Thanks for your stats ... here's what I see using similar (large file copy) tests from Lion:
AFP
Read: ~15 MB/s (like you)
Write: ~11 MB/s (higher than your 6 MB/s)
CIFS
Read: ~19 MB/s (higher than your 15 MB/s)
Write: ~10 Mb/s (lower than your 15 MB/s)
NFS (1 thread, sync mode enabled)
Read: ~11 MB/s (lower than your 12 MB/s)
Write: ~8 MB/s (lower than your 12 MB/s)
Settings are noted in detail at the top of the thread (though I tested this time from Lion and with AFP and NFS enabled in addition to CIFS). Quick summary ...
Jumbo frames: disabled
Complete journaling: enabled
Journaling: enabled
Fast CIFS writing: enabled
Bittorrent: disabled
2 x 500GB Seagate drives (matched)
PC and NAS connected directly to a WNDR3700 Gigabit Router
Tests performed on data shares rather than media shared ... not monitored by the iTunes/uPnP services
Finally, I did a full factory reset immediately after upgrading to from 4.1.8 (beta) to 4.1.8 (release).
