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...

Here's a few measurements I made some time ago:
ReadyNAS X6 rev.B w/ four 300GB HDs; journaling off, jumbo off
100Mbit network:
PC#1: write: 8.9 MBps; read: 8.4 MBps
PC#2: write: 8.6 MBps; read: 6.9 MBps
Got a 1Gbit network working for a while:
... but then I experienced a few network problems (switch incompatibilities after upgrading to RAIDiator 3.0?; see Network errors - b6 issue? for details) and I had to come back to my old 100Mbit network :cry:; here's the performance tests I made while everything was working:
PC#1: write: 9.7 MBps; read: 9.0 MBps
PC#2: write: 14.8 MBps; read: 28.4 MBps
Going toward 1Gbit network was definitely cool! Waiting Xmas for my buying two *new* switches ;)…
