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...

1. Could check the NV+ Network tab and see if there are any network errors (just to help rule that out). I think someone once said that > 100 unrecovered TCP retransmits in 24 hrs was bad.
2. As I recall, they may have removed this option in the p6 firmware, but check the Performance tab and see if you can check "Force CIFS filename case-sensitivity" ... I found this made a big difference for me.
3. What hard drives are in the unit? Have you checked the Health tab and their SMART status? Are there unusually high error counts?
1. Sorry, i looked and i looked but i can't find it. Where are the network errors located?
2. You're right, it's been removed in the last firmware version.
3. Oh oh... maybe bad news here... the drives have a green led, but when i click the Smart link is can see with all three:
Start Stop Count 2
Seek Error Rate 3983913
Power On Hours 91
Power Cycle Count 4
Hardware ECC Recovered 196278575
The Seek Error Rate varies with all 3 drives but is around this number more or less. All the other values are 0.
Is this bad? THe drives are new and are installed by the dealer.
thanks for the help!
