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 are my IOMeter results, both before and after I upgraded my ReadyNas NV SODIMM.
System:
Intel QX6700 on nVidia nForce 680i MB with gigabit LAN, jumbo frames set at 4500, running WinXP Pro
SMC GS8 Gigabit switch
ReadyNas NV running Radiator 3.01c1-p6 in XRAID
4x Maxtor 300GB 7V300F0 drives (yes, I know Maxtors have been a problem for ReadyNAS, but these seem ok)
Disk write cache: ENABLED
Journaling: ALL DISABLED
Fast CIFS Writes: ON
Force CIFS filename case-sensitivity: ON
All wired with Cat6 cabling
With original SODIMM, IO-Meter shows:
Reads: 23.1 MB/sec
Writes: 8.2 MB/sec
I think my slow writes are due to heavy volume fragmentation. I have had better write performance when I first started using the NV, but now that it's 70% full, writes have degraded in performance.
After installing the Patriot SODIMM, the welcome page of the NV showed Memory: 1024 MB 2-2-2-6. IO-Meter benchmarks now show:
Patriot SODIMM:
Reads: 20.9 MB/sec
Writes: 7.8 MB/sec
Any thoughts as to the performance hit after upgrading to 1GB RAM?

played around with jumo frames, and found that I got better performance after turning it off in both my PC's NIC and on the NV.
Jumbo Frames ON:
Reads: 25.1 MB/s
Writes: 7.4 MB/s
Jumbo Frames OFF:
Reads: 25.9 MB/s
Writes: 20.0 MB/s
weirder and weirder.
