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...
Hey,
I made some more changes :) but lets start from beginning.
I bought nas with two 500GB drives running in x-raid. At the point I had:
15MB/s write (PC->Nas)
21MB/s read (Nas->PC)
But 500GB wasn't enough of space and I put 4x1GB Seagate drives. I noticed that copying/moving new content from nas or to nas while data where divined between all 4 drives was much faster then the data that has been there before expanding to 4 drives. At that point I had:
20MB/s write (PC->Nas)
30MB/s read (Nas->PC).
Next step was to disable journaling and like I posted I had:
25 MB/s write (PC->Nas)
38 MB/s read (Nas->PC)
Today I decided to enable jumbo frames and current results are:
35-38 MB/s write (PC->Nas)
35-38 MB/s read (Nas->PC)
I set on router Jumbo Frames to 9000 and the same value on network cards.
As I wrote this my asked my wife (she has new pc) to run copy one movie from and to nas, and she had:
38 MB/s write (PC->Nas)
43 MB/s read (Nas->PC)
Both pc are running Windows XP+SP2, both network cards are NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller bot mobo chipsets are Nvidia ones.
One thing that worries me is sometimes I have like 1 sec lag/spike no idea how to call it and transfer drops to 21-25MB/s and goes back to 35-38MB/s. Sometimes is like 1 time per 700MB sometimes 1 time per 3GB, sometimes its flawless thru whole copy/moving process but I'm guessing it's the network card or maybe my hdd in pc can handle more :P
I wll try Intel Pro 1000 on my Notebook and the I let you know.
