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...
Updated the post a bit. Just single redundancy so far on the X-RAID2. I plan on increasing the number of drives later.
Haha yeah the drives are now strictly HCL. I was dumb and got some WD green drives when I first ordered it.
I am using IEEE 802.3ad LACP. I believe I tried to get it to double throughput for all 3 participants.
The Intel dual port card is using Maximum Bandwidth for the LAG setting. I did not mess around with any processor offloading yet.
The switch is using LACP as well. The Ultra 6 Plus is set to LACP as well.
Performance seems improved with LAG. I will need to rerun the non LAG tests again to be sure as my network just changed dramatically with the switch added in and Cat 7 cables (7') replacing a melange of cat 5 - cat5e in a variety of lengths and quality.
I can also do some direct connect runs maybe if that would be of interest, although I would never use it in such a configuration.
Mmm, interesting, I ran the Lan Speed test at 8GB thinking it would be slower due to less caching effects but:
