If you use a larger test data size with IOMeter, you'll probably get a more consistent result. That makes sense. I increased the maximum disk size to 4096000 and am now getting reads of 47 MBps and writes of 42 MBps pretty consistently. I believe that's sector count, so you may even want to double that size. I doubled it to 8192000 and am seeing writes at 53 - 55 and reads consistently at 47. I am using the iometer.icf file posted on the Iometer thread, just changing the target to my mapped drive and increasing the max disk size sectors.

These speeds are extremely quick! Gb speed caps at 125MB/sec assuming everything is perfect. And we all know that it is never perfect.

When I get everything setup I'll have a Linksys SRW2008 switch which has a 16Gb non-blocking backplane so this won't be the bottleneck. I have an Asus A8V motherboard with a Marvell Gb nic. I have an AMD 3500+ and 2GB Memory. If I don't get good throughput, I may upgrade my NIC. I bought 2 Seagate 250GB ES drives to go with my NV.
