I'm taking CyberJocks advice; new thread!
So I've now got a 9.1 .1 FreeNas system with the following; Intel core i5 2500k, 16gb of ram, 4, 3tb WD Red drives and an Intel PCI nic (Chip 82541PI). My iperf results are less than ideal, ~750Mbps. I've made some adjustments, but can't seem to get past that speed. I've read that speed is probably the top end for a RealTek nic, but Intel can do more.
Meanwhile on the same network switch, I can send 958Mbps from a bloody Macbook Air to my PC (Marvel Nic) all day. I've also tried tried some basic physical changes, like patch cables, but I don't think they have any effect in this case.
I'm thinking about trying another NIC after reading this thread, which had no resolution.

I appreciate any feedback.
