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...
Copying 750 MB file over AFP from 2009 Mac Pro to ReadyNAS Pro Business:
With my Macintosh G5, the fastest I could push data to my NAS was about 57 megabytes/second -- which I was pretty pleased about. I just copied a 750 MB file to my NAS, and my Mac Pro topped out at 94 megabytes/second. That's 750 Mbps.
Drag-copied 5.16 GB file over AFP from Mac Pro to ReadyNAS in 53.39 seconds. Activity Monitor topped out at 104.4 MB/sec.
NetGear GS108 switch. Gig-E, no Jumbo frames, MTU 1500. Hardly any performance tweaking on the ReadyNAS Pro except: adding a UPS to turn off journaling, enabled disk write cache, optimize for OSX. RAIDiator 4.2.5, XRAID-2, 3 GB of RAM (4-5-5-15 DDR2). Using only a single Gig-E interface on the ReadyNAS (no teaming). 2009 Mac Pro, 8 GB of RAM, Snow Leopard. Seagate 7200.12 hard drive.
I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard (not an upgrade of Leopard) onto the Mac Pro.
My OCZ Vertex SSD should arrive soon; I'll re-test network speed then.
