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 for easy comparison.You can run IO Meter by following the steps here: http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=265Please post your hardware specs, other relevant info, and IO Meter results. Maybe this could get stickied? Or ignored if no one cares :)-------Here's my info:Stock NV4 x Seagate ST3250823AS 250gb Hard Disk in X-RAIDAll journaling disabledFast writes onIntel D805 2.66ghz dual core cpuIntel D945GNTLKR motherboard with onboard Intel Gigabit NIC2 gigs ramSeagate ST3250824AS 250gb Hard DiskWindows Vista x86 RC1 (if that makes a difference)Dell PowerConnect 2708 Gigabit switch (no jumbo frames)Cat 6 cablingIO Meter Write: 19.321793 MBpsIO Meter Read: 26.803979 MBps

I am seeing some pretty strong results...makes me wonder if I missed something in the Iometer setup instructions, but I've triple checked them. I've done 6 runs now and see:Writes: 35 or 56 MBps (half the time it is 35, half 56)Reads: 33, 47, and 72 MBps (of my 6 runs I've got two at each of these)Everything on the ReadyNAS is setup per the instructions on the forum.

Time to update that firmware ;) There is a newer beta out.

I wanted wait till final version :lol:

Hi bbaraniec!

It's a fantastic result!

What kind of file system could you get these result:
"38 MB/s write (PC->Nas)
43 MB/s read (Nas->PC)"

I can reach about 35-36MB/s with my two drives config, but the read speed far from your result.

I've a question about four drive configuration. It's every time faster than two drive config? Chirpa what do you think?

Thanks,

Vilden,

Don't use cat.5 cabling if you connect at gigabit speed.
Use cat5e or cat6 else you get interference of signals, which cause drops and resends, which lowers your throughput.

Hi Plukkie,

Do you mean that I cant use cat.5 because I have gigabit on the NAS?

My router doesen't support gigabit at all, nore do my laptop. The NAS identify the network as 100 Mbit full duplex.

Before I installed the Duo I had a Qnap TS-109, worked like a charm.

Vaio SZ 2.0ghz w/ 2gig of RAM - Vista Business SP1

Running the latest radiator (got the device on Tuesday) - 2x750gb

Jumbo Frames Off
All journaling Options Off
mtu = 1496

Netgear DG834GT (54mbps wireless)

Read/Write - Wireless 2.5mbps
Read/Write - Ethernet - 6mbps.

Bought the NAS purely so i could get rid of my external hd and create some space on my desk - itunes streaming fine (only me on the network so don't need the server)

Anyone know of a special way to squeeze out a few extra mbps?

From wireless you will not get much more, since you running b/g.
Wired network:

- enable jf
- read this, no point to copy/paste it :) http://www.readynas.com/?p=310

Running a real file copy of a VMware image from the NV gave me a consistent 49 MB/s
Doing a write to the NV gave me a relatively consistent 27MB/s

Kudo's to the developers!! AFP rocks on RAIDiator 4.1.4.
