Preparing for the arrival of my PRO, I performed the following benchmarks: NV+ 256MB RAM RAIDiator 4.1.4 AFP, 4 x 1.5TB Netgear GSM7224 Gigabit L2 Managed Switch 5GB ZIP of a VMWare image file. OS X 10.5.5 iMac Gig E client running Net Monitor Speedometer. Jumbo Frames (8192 on Mac) Journaling Off, Optimize for Mac OS X On, Enable Fast CIFS Writes On Write Mac to NAS: Average: 33.3 MB/s Peak: 42.4 MB/s Read Mac from NAS: Average: 44.6 MB/s Peak: 50.1 MB/s Write Mac to Mac: Average: 49.1 MB/s Peak: 60.9 MB/s

Preliminary results with a Pro:

Pro RAIDiator 4.2.1
AFP, 4 x 500GB
Netgear GSM7224 Gigabit L2 Managed Switch
802.3ad Link Aggregation ON

5GB ZIP of a VMWare image file.

OS X 10.5.5 iMac Gig E client running Net Monitor Speedometer.
Jumbo Frames (8192 on Mac)
Journaling Off, Optimize for Mac OS X On, Enable Fast CIFS Writes On

Write Mac to NAS:
Average: 48.4 MB/s
Peak: 67.3 MB/s

Read Mac from NAS:
Average: 52.6 MB/s
Peak: 66.2 MB/s

So, it's definitely appreciably faster. Given that the averages now match my Mac to Mac speeds, I think we have reached the best possible throughput for my system. If I feel the need to procrastinate later this morning, I will try some multiple machine scenarios to see what it can handle.
