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 Ultra 4 [X-RAID2]
RAIDiator 4.2.19
X-RAID2, 2 disks, 42% of 913 GB used
ch1: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 [931 GB]
ch2: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 [931 GB]
Test done from a 1st gen MacBook (core duo) over gigabit ethernet with jumbo frames enabled on both the NAS and the Mac (and verified to actually work). The mac is plugged into an 8 port gigabit netgear switch which then runs to a 4 port gigabit netgear (WNDR3700v2) which the ReadyNAS is plugged into.

I'm pretty happy with those #s and I'd assume I'll get better write speeds as I add more disks
