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...

I'm almost ashamed..
Model: ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition [X-RAID2] Dual Redundancy
Serial: 1YA59CR?x?x?x
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.9
Memory: 1024 MB [4-5-5-15 DDR2]
IP address 1: 192.168.1.111
IP address 2: Not Connected
Volume C: Online, X-RAID2, 6 disks, 85% of 7413 GB used
I am running 6 x WD20EARS with jumbo frames and the jumbo does make a difference.
I'm feeling that running XRaid2 with 2 x redundancy might be significantly slower than single redundancy.
I didn't really research as I needed double redundancy and that was that as my budget was limited....
Hmmmm its hard to say limited budget and $3400 in the same breath,
but u get what i mean. RNPP 8 x WD20EARS HDD
copying a 7.79 GB (8,370,782,376 bytes) file to the NAS took 5:55 secs or ~=22 MB/s
and 1:40 secs from the NAS to the Win7 PC so 77.9MB/sec i.e.~=7790MB/100secs
22.0 MB/s write to NAS
77.9 MB/s read from NAS
@berkut
More information please?
Such as are you in Dual Redundancy mode? What file copy method did you use? CIFS copy? 8Gb file?
If i were you i would be very careful and not update the firmware until you have had a good read as 4.2.8 was the last version without pausing and dropout issues.
EDIT: added my Slow performance.

One key point is that for this system I found that disabling Jumbo Framing on all of the devices, gave the best results. I also found that setting the PC's NIC to maximize network throughput vs. CPU utilization made a significant improvement in overall performance. The cost of this operation resulted in CPU utilization increasing from 10% to 30-44% during testing.
