Megabits (Mb/s) or Megabytes(MB/s)?Originally Posted by HangaS
If the Hitachi 7K1000 can get about 80MB/s, then 100MB/s in Raid5 is not too shabby....
So I am not sure why you thought you would get even 500Mbit/s...
I agree though that it would be nice to to have a Util on the DSS that could test the raw I/O performance.
Kurt,
What are the servers you are connecting to the NAS with?
If you are running Windows try using the Intel NAS Perf tester:

And if you want to test your GB Network, take a look at netspeed.exe from OptimumX
http://www.optimumx.com/download/
(Assuming you have another Windows Box to test against.)
So far I think almost all of our speed issues we have narrowed down to the server NICs not auto negotiating properly.
