New Test - Trial license rubbish through put

[Newbie_From_Hell]

Local Disk another W7 PC (mapped drive) NAS NFS Iscsi Drive
Write Read Write Read Write Read Write Read
Time to Complete 0.58 2.13 23.88 34.52 90.00 91.00 0.58 89.42
Mbps 14,178.00 3,830.00 343.00 237.00 90.00 90.00 13,933.00 91.00


Test File Size 1024Mb

hopefully this looks ok on the screen, but basically the iscsi read and the NFS R/W are about 2 or 3 times slower than a single disk W7 Mapped drive
the write speed on the iscsi is crazy it copys about 95% of the file then seems to site for a couple of seconds then finish

these were calculated on a little tool i use sometimes called "Lan Speed Test"

any ideas would be appreciated, i would like to do a local test just to figure out if its os / is there a facility withing DSS to do "test" file copies ?

Thanks

any chances you are using your 100mbps card instead of 1gb?

[Newbie_From_Hell]

lol, no

i did check that, all connections were in at one point, but now i am testing on a single gigabit link, with nothing else connected.

i really can't understand why we are limited to so slow a connection, its very disappointing, i know the hardware isn't great but it should function better then a old PC with 1 HDD in surely

Is your trial licence still active? Please note that after 60 days since volume group creation trial is over and bandwidth limited to 100mpbs.

how do i check what speed the nic is connected as, its a gigabit nic (e1000) but i want to make sure it negotiated at 1000 not 100??

The best would be if you could open a support ticket and send us your logs so support team can analyse if everything is configured properly.

Further update

booted to a centos live cd, and ran there disc benchmark tool, reports a 400MB/s average 250MB/s

so short of flatting the array and building a linux / win2008 system on it i don't know what else i can test

network seems fine (between 2 W7 machines i can copy quickly" the array seems to match what we would expect from the hardware.

if open-e can suggest something i'm all ears
