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...
Hi All!
At least I got my little precious ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 with 4 pcs. WD20EARS harddisks.
I already have 2 older WD20EARS-00S8B1 with 512 bytes sector,
and got 2 new WD20EARS-00MVWB0 with 4kbytes sector.
The unit had 4.1.6. firmware originaly, but when I put one 00MVWB0 it was fine, successfuly installed the disk.
Maybe this drive has better back-compatibility, or it doesn't matter if its alone.
I updated the firmware to 4.1.7T49 just for sure. :)
After this I loaded all of drives and did Factory Default with the hole button.
9,5 hours and the job finished.
I did the measure based on local forum with IOMeter, and I got very nice results:
Read in MB/sec: 30.99
Write in MB/sec: 23.26
But if I mount the volume on my PC, I get only half performance,
around 16-18 MB/sec read/write bandwidth via Total Commander copy or drag'n'drop copy.
Every settings are default.
Is it a normal thing with this unit?
When I enabled the Jumbo Frame support in NAS and in my Ethernet, I got worse performance, 2-4 MB/sec read/write. :o
That says to me maybe the Router/Switch does not support the Jumbo Frames, right?
Systems:
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PC - Onboard ( Asus P5Q Pro ) Atheros AR8121 Gigabit Ethernet with Jumbo Frame support
NAS - RND4000 with 4.1.7.T49 firmware
Router - TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND with 4-port Gigabit Switch and "N" Wireless ( I think it doesn't support Jumbo Frames )
With respect do you have any idea how to improve CIFS performance?
Any suggestions, tricks? :)
Thank you so much!
Darq.
ps: Im really sorry for my english :lol:
