also, maybe you could use iozone for benchmark data?

my command is as follows:
iozone -Razb c:\pro1000mt_test_9650se-wbcache-ncq-softinitiator.xls -f G:\tesfile.lo1


maybe open-e engineers can give us a baseline of what we should expect with performance? personally i want to be able to saturate my ethernet before i saturate my disks but it seems i cant saturate either!
The best speed I can reach with one gigabyte link was 65MB/s writing and 60MB/s reading but apple xraid could nod permit more than that with only one fiber connection so I'm happy with that , the thing that I miss in Open-E is a built-in benchmark for connection between drive and Open-E server , with this thing we could be able to know if the problem come from network or physical connection and also evaluate which speed we can expect from our system before doing ISCSI and/or FC Target , less problem and more happy camper. Open-E?
