Post your performance results
I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of performance everyone is getting with IO Meter so that we can compare what we're getting. So I thought we could all post our results in this thread...
My results running RAIDiator™ v3.00c1-p2 [1.00a025] from a 3.2Ghz Athlon 64 PC with 1GB RAM via gigabit connection on a Netgear GS108 switch to my ReadyNAS NV.
4 x WDC WD2000JS 200GB drives in X-Raid.
Settings (all standard I believe):
Enable disk write cache: Enabled
Disable full data journaling: Enabled
Disable journaling: Disabled
Enable jumbo frames: Disabled
Optimise for OS X: Disabled
Enable fast CIFS writes: Enabled
Enable fast USB disk writes: Disabled
Network shows 0 errors.
Write MBps = 15.71
Read MBps = 25.03
I've previously run tests with direct connection with similar results, and jumbo frames enabled (at both ends) with a reduction in results.
Personally I think it does the job and looks great, but I would expect better throughput (how can read performance over four drives give worse performance than native read performance of a single drive? I understand there is a write penalty with Raid 5).
