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...

===========================================================
Test description:
For READ test copied 1023 MB VOB-file from NAS to PC.
FOR WRITE test copied 1023 MB VOB-file from PC to NAS.
Both tests done with Total Commander and with CIFS protocol (Windows file sharing).
Test results:
Jumbo Disabled on PC:
- READ 194 Mbit/s
- WRITE 102 Mbit/s
Jumbo 4088 bytes on PC:
- READ 199 Mbit/s
- WRITE 127 Mbit/s
Jumbo 9014 bytes on PC:
- READ 204 Mbit/s
- WRITE 126 Mbit/s
Did my best, this is the max I can get. In the past I also discovered that uninstalling the firewall from the PC gave more throughput compared to disabling it, surprisingly. But, because I definately want to have protection, I leave it like this.
