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 for easy comparison.
You can run IO Meter by following the steps here: http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=265
Please post your hardware specs, other relevant info, and IO Meter results. Maybe this could get stickied? Or ignored if no one cares :)

RAIDiator 4.2.8
X-RAID2 6 disks - Seagate ST31000340AS
Has no problems maxing out a gigabit port, consistently see speeds in the 90MB-100MB/s range. The Pro is the real deal thanks to the Core2Duo under the hood. - ReadyNAS NVX here with 4x2TB WD drives. Jumbo frames enabled. single nic. Getting consistently 75Mbps write speeds with AFP from a Mac and 91 Mbps for read speeds.
Very satisfied with that. - HELP! My NV+ only gets me 4-8mb write per second.
1gb mem, 4.16 (i think), 4x1000gb, xraid, only cifs, gige LAN with 2 different switches. It's about 91% full that shouldn't affect it right? Jumbo on, all journaling off.
Haven't swapped the cables but doubt that an issue. - ReadyNAS PRO BUSINESS
RAIDiator 4.2.9
X-RAID2 4 disks - 4xWD 500GB (RE3 WD5002ABYS)
Testing Machine
HP Proliant G6 ML 110
Intel Quad Core Xeon 4GB memory
Drag and Drop copy 3.5 GB file
CIFS
95-105 MB/s write to NAS
80-85 MB/s read from NAS
iSCSI copy 4 GB file
105-110 MB/s write to NAS
65-70 MB/s read from NAS
iSCSI writes are crazy fast!
:D - Well, I haven't run IO Meter. But not sure there is much point as right now I am getting transfer speeds of like 7KB/s
:-( - I was able to get about 180MB/s sustained with teaming setup on LACP (of course I had to upgrade my switch and buy an intel dual gigabit card that supports LACP) but it was worth it! :)

Great story, would be good to see more performance results.
Can you run Bonnie++? and also try atto Bench32 in combination with Dataram RAMDisk v3.5 if you want to test your network as well.

Neither do any better than 16MB/s sustained stream. This is with UPS and all performance switches.
I'm selling these off and going back to system attached storage. The only good Netgear machines are their business ones. The duo was a POS purchased and not built by Netgear has poor support here and does not work very well to my view.
Cost me 750 for two of them. I should have just built a machine for storage but was given the run around by staff who said these POS boxes are good.
Boy, was I taken in. - My Setup:
