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...
ReadyNAS NV+, 256MB
2x Seagate 1TB drives ST31000528AS Firmware: CC38 (stock)
2x Seagate 1.5TB drives ST31500341AS Firmware: SD37
All performance options are on the default settings except as stated below
Netgear GS116 switch
CAT 5e/6 cable
Test System:
Windows 7 64-bit
Zotac 9300-ITX motherboard, 2GB RAM
NVidia nForce ethernet
Intel Q8200 Quad-Core CPU @ 2.33GHz
MTU=1500
29.49 MB/s Read
11.718 MB/s Write
MTU=1492
41.74 MB/s Read
22.48 MB/s Write
MTU=Jumbo (NX+) MTU=4k (Win 7)
41.21 MB/s Read
27.24 MB/s Write
Machine 2:
iMac 2.8GHz C2D, 4GB RAM
OS X 10.6.3
MTU=Jumbo on NX+ and iMac
Read = 37.5 MB/s (via FTP and Cyberduck)
Write = 140.0 MB/s (via FTP and Cyberduck)
APF
Read = 53.47 MB/s, 51.81 MB/s (yes, I don't believe it either, so I repeated it)
Write = 25.15 MB/s
CIFS
Read = 16.67 MB/s
Write = 5.41 MB/s
An interesting note is that once the CIFS copy is finished, the NV+ refuses to disconnect from the share and then becomes unresponsive for about 10 minutes. It eventually recovers, so the lesson here is no CIFS on the Macs. I'm now trying to determine if the slowdown is due to the Mac or the NV+.
EDIT:
Slowdown is some interaction between the NV+ and the Mac. The Windows 7 machine is still as peppy as ever. I went back to enabling jumbo frames and everything is good now as long as I avoid CIFS on the Macs.
