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...

Wow, nice difference.
With my Ultra4 with jumbo frames off, i have :
Single Caviar Green 3TB on NAS :
-40MB/s Read&Write with CIFS/SMB access
-55-90MB/s Read and 55MB/s Write with ftp access
Current config (2 Seagate 3TB added) :
-45MB/s Read&Write with CIFS/SMB access
-60-95MB/s Read and 60MB/s Write with ftp access
With the current config, IOMeter gives me 50MB/s Read and 55MB/s Write.
I don't know if jumbo frames are worth the investment on my Ultra4 (I would need to buy at least a compatible NIC on my computer and a third GS105 switch, my router is said to support only 2k jumbo frames). FYI, iperf gives me a constant 110MB/s between my computer and my NAS.
