RNDP2000 vs RNDU2000 Performance
Anyone have any real world opinions about their relative performance? Say with streaming one client and perhaps a decent amount of ISCSI activity (say four concurrent recordings)? Trying to decide if ...

Yes. There's only so much performance you can get out of a gigabit ethernet connection. With gigabit the theoretical max would be about 120 MB/s. Usually anything around the 100 MB/s mark is considered to be pretty good. Of course the drive in the client machine can also be a bottleneck. If you have a SSD in the client machine that is a big help.
You could get better performance on e.g. the 300 series or 516, but with a gigabit ethernet connection you'd still be limited to not too much more than what you are getting now. A key advantage of e.g. the 300 series and 516 series is being able to do more while still getting high performance.
With the 716x and 10 gigabit you could of course go a lot faster again, but you'd also need a NIC that supports that for your PC.
