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...
Original set-up:
ReadyNAS NV
256Mb memory
3 x Seagate ST3400832AS 400Gb drives
X-RAID
Jumbo frames off
Journaling disabled
Fast CIFS frames enabled
Dell 2.4Ghz P4 PC
Windows XP Home
512Mb Memory
Belkin Gigahertz NIC F5D5005 NIC
Jumbo frames off
Flow control enabled, not sure what the TCP offload option is (mentioned in Infrant's test set-up post - I don't see any option like that anywhere)
D-Link DGS-2205 switch (GigE, no jumbo frame support)
READ: 29.2
WRITE: 19.3
Made the following change to the system (ONLY change):
Replaced stock 256Mb memory with Patriot 1Gb memory card (PEP1G2700SLL) from NewEgg
READ: 32.2
WRITE: 19.8
Replaced D-Link DGS-2205 switch with SMCGS8 switch (from Infrant compat. list). NO change to jumbo frame settings (yet):
READ: 31.3
WRITE: 19.2
Ok - now with enabling jumbo frames on NIC (MTU=9014) and ReadyNAS NV (MTU=whatever is standard, 7936??):
READ: 28.4
WRITE: 23.9
So I gained in write performance but lost read performance.
NOTE: I had posted previously about some volume errors I was getting when re-booting the NV. It appears they were caused by or related to the USB drive I had attached to the NV, NOT the jumbo frames.
