Post your performance results

Since I'm too stupid to do the iometer thing, can someone here just drag and drop some files from the computer to the nas and tell me how long it takes?

I move a 2.15gb file in just about 5 mins either way which I think is very slow. This is an avi file.

Can anyone comment?

Thanks

Well - here are the results I got to when testing with the 1gig file that iometer produces:

1 gig file

MTU 1460
copy file to PC - 1 min 37
copy file to nas - 1min 5secs
12mb/s 22mb/s


MTU Jumbo
46 secs
1min 40 secs
30.2mb/s 13.8mb/s

MTU 1492
33 s
1min 9 secs
39mb/s 22.6mb/s

Can anybody help with some suggestions to better speed????

Are people with Windows 7 having the same speed issues I am? Running an IO meter will max my transfer speeds at about 8 MB/s both write and read. Everything seems to be running at gigabit speeds between my computer to the nas. When I switch to XP sp3 I have no issues reaching 29 MB/s.

Is this a Windows 7 issues or what?

Readynas NV+ 4.1.6 firmware

I am getting:
Write 6.2 MBps
Read 4.1 MBps

I have a pretty good feeling that I am going to return it.

It seems like it here, but can't test, didn't install win xp on this pc yet.

Since IOmeter doesn't work on mac, my xbench scores are below. The volume is mounted via AFP and the NAS has 512mb ram. Using a gigabit switch with jumbo frames:

Copying 750 MB file over AFP from 2009 Mac Pro to ReadyNAS Pro Business:

With my Macintosh G5, the fastest I could push data to my NAS was about 57 megabytes/second -- which I was pretty pleased about. I just copied a 750 MB file to my NAS, and my Mac Pro topped out at 94 megabytes/second. That's 750 Mbps.

Drag-copied 5.16 GB file over AFP from Mac Pro to ReadyNAS in 53.39 seconds. Activity Monitor topped out at 104.4 MB/sec.

NetGear GS108 switch. Gig-E, no Jumbo frames, MTU 1500. Hardly any performance tweaking on the ReadyNAS Pro except: adding a UPS to turn off journaling, enabled disk write cache, optimize for OSX. RAIDiator 4.2.5, XRAID-2, 3 GB of RAM (4-5-5-15 DDR2). Using only a single Gig-E interface on the ReadyNAS (no teaming). 2009 Mac Pro, 8 GB of RAM, Snow Leopard. Seagate 7200.12 hard drive.

I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard (not an upgrade of Leopard) onto the Mac Pro.

My OCZ Vertex SSD should arrive soon; I'll re-test network speed then.

Since I now have three generations of ReadyNAS, I thought I would post my test results. One key point is that for this system I found that disabling Jumbo Framing on all of the devices, gave the best results. I also found that setting the PC's NIC to maximize network throughput vs. CPU utilization made a significant improvement in overall performance. The cost of this operation resulted in CPU utilization increasing from 10% to 30-44% during testing.
