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 :)

- iMac i7 from 2010 with ReadyNas 6 I get a poor performance
AFP 10MB/s write tested via Helios - from my PC's I go a lot faster.
SMB 7.5MB/s write
CIFS 6MB/s write
Mac OS X 10.8.2 / Gigabit Netgear N600 Router... No Jumbo Frames activated but still this should not make the difference compared to people going at 50 or 100MB/s.
Any suggestions to speed things up?
I'll do another test with a direct connection but still - a so so happy user at best - i think this is ok for a Gbit/Lan and 6 Bay Readynas Ultra ?

Tonight, i was transfering files with ftp while sabnzbd was DLing at full speed (2MB/s), the speed was 100+ MB/s. And on the other hand, i can't seen to exceed 50-60MB/s with CIFS.
Tonight i was curious and ran some tests with the top command running on ssh, and the issue with Dling and SMB CIFS is really frustrating.
IOmeter ran at 55MB/s on both read and write.
The read speed was very constant with a CPU load under 30%.
The write speed was erratic (between 20-30MB/s and 90MB/s averaging 50-55MB/s), which saturates the nas CPU (the SMB process and raid5 process both take turn using the CPU).
Where is the restraint on read speed using smb ?
FYI, using ftp (with 100-110MB/s read and 60MB/s write), the read speed uses few % of CPU and the write speed also saturates the CPU with proftpd and raid5 processes.- ReadyNAS Duo v.1
Dropped some large GB files over AFP, these were the averge speeds:
Read: 52 MB/s
Write: 18 MB/s
Performance settings:
Enabled - Jumbo frames
Enabled - Disable full data journaling
Disabled - Disable journaling
Isn't it just lovely with negative options. :)
The unit is recently factory resetted and restored from backup. It's half full, 1 of 2 TB is used. The rest of the specs is in the signature below. But I was quite suprised with the fast read spead. I've got some memory of about 30 MB/s prior to reset and with old drives. - 52 MB/s read speeds from the duo v1? Sounds too high to me.
What RAID format are you using? StephenB wrote: 52 MB/s read speeds from the duo v1? Sounds too high to me.
What RAID format are you using
Standard X-Raid (raid 1). Yes it sounds a bit too fast.
I got the figures when copying fils with Path Finder. Is there any standard tools for measuring nas speed on OS X?- I just tried to do it manually. Dropped a 1,1 GB file from nas to laptop and timed it with my iPhone.
1100 MB / 21 s = 52,4 MB/s

I read with interest the post by 'Serenity' from a year ago regarding 'ReadyNAS Ultra 6+ on a Full Duplex Gigabit Jumbo Packet network (Cat 6e, 9k JF + Billion 7800n)'
I hope you you guys don't mind if I ask a few questions.
Quoted read/write speeds are 90 - 115mb/s.
How was he able to achieve this?
I currently have the little brother of the 'ReadyNAS Ultra 6', the 'Ultra 4' and cannot achieve anywhere near the speeds quoted above.
My network consists of the following:
* Dell XPS8300 - i7-2600/3.40GHz,8MB, 16GB RAM, 2x1TB - 7200RPM/Raid 0 "Stripe" + Intel PRO/1000 CT Gigabit NIC
* ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus (Corsair VS4GSDS800D2 4GB RAM Upgrade + 4 x Samsung 2TB HDDs (HD204UI)
* Billion 7800N (Firmware 1.06g)
My transfer speeds currently max out at approx 10MB/s
ReadyNAS is set to Gigabit/Full Duplex
NIC is set to Gigabit/Full Duplex
Billion 7800N is only set to 1492 in the 'WAN Profile' and cannot be changed.
I am in the UK should that make any difference.
I am very interested to know, how he manage to get your Billion 7800 to utilise 9K Jumbo Frames?

Forget about it guys, I've just realised what the problem is.:oops:
While searching for a solution, I found an old post of mine where I'd come to the conclusion that it was the 'Netgear Powerline Adapters' that were causing the problem as they don't support JF.
Well, I'm still using the same 'Netgear Powerline Adapters' and despite having all the right Gigabit kit, they just don't play and prevent transfers above 10MBps.
They are Netgear AV500 units and to be fair have been very good since I purchased them nearly two years ago and manage OK with streaming content to three locations simutaneously.
