Finally got the new NAS built!
I'm running an N54L w/8GB RAM, 5x4TB Seagate 5900 RPM, FreeNAS9.3 latest stable and the stock NIC. LZ4 compression is turned on, but does not seem to impact my overall write speeds. The drives are all in 1 vdev. SMBD uses anywhere from 25% to 70% of CPU.
My CIFS transfer speeds are about 52MB/s write and about 65MB/s read. ZPOOL iostat looks as follows
A DD test had the following results:
Write
Read
Are those within the normal range for this server, or are they a bit low?
