I have just reciently built a FreeNAS box.
specs:
FreeNAS 8.2.0-BETA3
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Brisbane 2.5GHz
4 x G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Basicly a Dell E-521 with upgraded ram.
3 x Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARX 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
1 x Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
FreeNAS is vanilla and is installed on a 2gb usb. Everything seams to be running just fine. I am trying to move a large amount of data to the box but I am only getting a transfer speed of 9.1 mbps. Other factors to consider: I am running live cd version of linux mint 10 on source computer, data is on external hard drive (usb 2.0), my main volume is setup as a zfs raid-z, all datasets have no size limits, all shares are SMB/CIFS.
I am wanting to say that speeds are slow because the data is transfering from an external drive over the network. Although I am hoping I am wrong and have just set up something wrong. Any input would be great thanks.
