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...

Ok. I got it working but the results are not pretty.
System:
Pentium 4 (3.2 GHz); 3 GB Ram; XP Pro
Intel PRO/1000 CT (jumbo frames disabled; link speed - auto detect)
Netgear GS608 switch
ReadyNas NV running RAIDiator 4.00b9-p1-T1 [1.00a037] in XRAID; 1 GB RAM
4x Samsung 500GB ; 75% filled
Disk write cache: ENABLED
Journaling: ALL DISABLED
Fast CIFS Writes: ON
I am getting around 10 MB/s on both reads and writes. This can't be the fastest speed I can get.
What should I change to improve the speed? I was wondering if my NIC card is the bottleneck. I can't see the switch being an issue since it is a gigabit switch. I am assuming I don't need to set anything on it since the NV reports 1000Mbit / full duplex.
Can someone give me a couple suggestions?
