Strange performance results with my ReadyNAS Pro 6
I've just bought a Pro 6 to replace my NV+ and for now there are 4xBarracuda in it.
I've done some bench in CIFS after reading this subject:

on 2 different computers, without firewall, and even directly on the NAS without the router. Each time I get this kind of result, write rate=~(read rate/2)...
With Bonnie extension I get ~170MB, jumbo frames are enabled (9000), my router is a WNDR3700, I'm using Cat6 STP cables, I've no SMART error... So I don't really understand where is the problem ?!
Any idea or suggestion ?

- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserI don't think your router supports jumbo frames. You can confirm by pinging the NAS from the PC:
run cmd (by typing cmd in the windows search bar), and enter
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -f -l 8000
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the pro.
If you see "packet needs to be fragmented but DF set" then you can't use jumbo frames. - marcuspTutorHi Stephen,
I don't have any packet's fragmentation, and I've already verified on the NAS and on my computers that jumbo frames were taken into account.
Furthermore, I get the same results with a direct connection on the NAS without the router between them (in static IP).
So I really don't understand these results :-/... - beisser1Tutoradded the now open casenumber to this thread.
