Hello everybody,
Got inspired and decided to run some speed tests on my freenas box.. Seems to be holding up well using ZFS and not noticing any big performance hits for real life use.. Using http://forums.freenas.org/threads/intel-nic-vs-realtek-nic-performance-testing.10325/ for reference..
Some of the box is cobbled together from older parts laying around.. I did upgrade however and go through lots of troubles initially moving to freenas 8 - 4k align - bad drives.. bad NICs during hardware testing.. Main use for this box is CIFS/streaming pretty lightweight content.. No true HD content yet.. MiniDNLA added aswell.. No SSDs or significant upgrades planned other then more ram.. Lots more ram.. Box was left to idle and MiniDLNA finished scanning before starting any tests.. Traffic was minimized on network.. Both of these onboard NICs aren't optimal.. However I want to avoid purchasing intel NICs at this time.. Just curious what everybody thought of these speeds..

The speeds via CIFS transfers from a wired computer on gigabit seem fine at aprox 95-100MB/s via windows 7 eyeball..DD seems very slow.. I'm going to do some more testing throughout the day.. Seems pretty solid 100MB/s.. Happy with this..
