How do I improve my read/write speed of ReadyNAS?
Performance can be a hard thing to measure with the ReadyNAS because of so many different user environments. Folks have different switches, hard disks, PCs, operating systems, and different OS settings. If you feel you have a performance issue, please run IOMeter following the instructions at /forum/viewtopic.php?t=265 so that we can ascertain where the performance bottleneck might be. Update to the latest RAIDiator release before doing so.
