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 my two penn'orth :
System : AMD 3200+; 2GB RAM; Seagate ATA ST3160812A
NAS : 256MB RAM; 4x Seagate ST3250620NS in XRaid
Direct LAN connection, Gigabit NIC and Gigabit Switch
Write IOPS : 26.538 MBPS : 6.635
Read IOPS : 50.146 MBPS : 12.975
Direct LAN connection, Gigabit NIC and Gigabit Switch + JUMBO FRAMES
Write IOPS : 29.672 MBPS : 7.418
Read IOPS : 45.002 MBPS : 11.251
Wireless Connection 802.11g USR 5450 - USR 5450 (Bridge Mode) (Replacing 20m of Cable with Wireless Link)
Write IOPS : 6.171 MBPS : 1.543
Read IOPS : 4.904 MBPS : 1.226
If the NAS was quiet, then I could use cable !!! :(
Next week I'll replace the USR 5450s with USR 5461s. Lets hope for 2x :)
UPDATE
Results improved with better power cable management and changing Wireless Channel from 8 to 13 :
Write IOPS : 9.134 MBPS : 2.283
Read IOPS : 8.679 MBPS : 2.170
