How's my speed?

[Curtis]

I’m new to FreeNAS and curious if my speeds look appropriate for my setup. I’m averaging 112MB/s transferring large files using CIFS from a Windows PC. I know these speeds are good, but do you think I can squeeze out any better transfer rates? Or, should I stop worrying and be happy? Any input/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

You're basically at the top of the spectrum for gigabit. I don't you can get much more out of it

autotune turned on

896Mb/s sounds reasonable, with all overhead considered.
