Post your performance results

I just upgraded to Windows 7, and now my NV+ gives me really good read speeds. :)

Model: 	ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID]
Firmware: 	RAIDiator 4.1.7 [1.00a043] 
Memory: 	1024 MB [2.5-3-3-7]
Volume C: 	Online, X-RAID, 2 disks, 99% of 1846 GB used

I have Teracopy installed. My read speeds are about 37-38MB/sec. Sometimes they spike as high as 47MB/sec, but it always bounces back to 37-38MB/sec right after.

Write speeds are much worse, but that could be due to how full the array is. Currently they average about 8-15MB/sec. I can remember them being as high as 25MB/sec under XP - but the array was almost empty when I first tested it.

No matter what I try I cannot get tranfer speeds better than 11MB/s. I have changed cables, even disabled options that were recommended to be disabled to improve speed. The network status on my NAS frontview page says it is "Online / 1000 Mbit / full duplex but still only getting 11Mb / second transfer speeds from my internal hard drives to the NAS.

I have to say that, unfortunately, the industry is VERY SLOPPY about performance/speed where networking is concerned.

If the syntax of your abbreviations is correct, then you are getting a good rate.

MB and Mb are two completely different things, but constantly used interchangeably. They're not, never were. Microsoft is terrible about this and their bad habits have become the worlds. Performace in networking is ALWAYS measured in megabits, except by some companies such as Microsoft, who measures it in megabytes. Cheifly, because microsoft has always been sloppy to bad at networking.

There is no accurate conversion between Mb & MB because the first is basic measure of transmission (layer 1) and the other is the result from the perspective of an application (layer 7). To transfer 1 MB of data does NOT take 8Mb. And different protocols and apps will make that ratio vary. But because there is no right answer, we typically use say 1MB is equal to 8Mb. It is a guesstimate that gets you somewhere in the ballpark, but always short of the real Mb number. How short--you cant know.

So the 11MB rate you mention would be more than 88Mb on the wire. Over 60Mb there are always other factors that are probably constraining transfers. Are both client and server running at 1000 or 100? Are they on the same switch? If you are measuring a transfer of files what is the write speeds of the destination as write is always slower than read. Competing tasks? etc.

Hi all,
Just got a Duo V2 the other day and wanted to check in on the write speeds over a gigabit connection. I get between 57-60MB/s on a large MKV file, just wanted to check that sounds about right I couldnt find too many benchmarks online for it?

If you are able to get those write speeds then you are doing good. From the reviews I've read, most seem to top out at 35-50 MB/s write and ~90 MB/s read.

You must have a decent source computer.

ReadyNAS Ultra 6+ on a Full Duplex Gigabit Jumbo Packet network (Cat 6e, 9k JF + Billion 7800n), I get around 90 - 115mb/s read/write.

Rather happy with this speed, it's not like it needs to be faster :p

Great little device, expensive, but great.

I have ReadyNAS Ultra 4+
Full Duplex Gigabit Jumbo Frame (Cat 7, 9k MTU),
I get around Writes: 90~108 MB/s , Reads: 100~110 MB/s

It's performance very good

Hi, I'm only struggling with:

WRITE
Total I/O per second = 2.56
Total MB per second = 0.64
Average I/O Response time (ms) = 358.4287
Maximum I/O response time = 2515.4065
% CPU Utilization (total) = 4.77%
Total error count = 1

READ
Total I/O per second = 2.64
Total MB per second = 0.66
Average I/O Response time (ms) = 378.0300
Maximum I/O response time = 6039.6648
% CPU Utilization (total) = 3.55%
Total error count = 0

I have a NASDUO V2 with a (for the moment) single 2tB WD Caviar Green (WD20EARX) installed.

Very disappointing and I don't know what to do. Running the Iometer was a huge step in my knowledge.


Any suggestions?

Nottub :-(

OK thought I would update you on a change made to my NIC from '100Mbps / Full Duplex' to 'Auto Negotiate 1000mbps'. Revised results in brackets....

WRITE
Total I/O per second = 2.56 [201.02]
Total MB per second = 0.64 [50.26]
Average I/O Response time (ms) = 358.4287 [4.79]
Maximum I/O response time = 2515.4065 [143.53]
% CPU Utilization (total) = 4.77% [44.13%]
Total error count = 1 [0]

READ
Total I/O per second = 2.64 [169.45]
Total MB per second = 0.66 [42.36]
Average I/O Response time (ms) = 378.0300 [5.89]
Maximum I/O response time = 6039.6648 [83.72]
% CPU Utilization (total) = 3.55% [30.21]
Total error count = 0 [0]

Seems to have done the trick....

Martyn.

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.
