I'm getting what I feel is odd numbers on transfer rates.
I have a RAIDZ setup with 4x2tb Western Digital green drives.
I started fiddling with this because I don't get more than 25mb/sec over samba from my workstation.
To see if it has anything to do with the Freenas I did in the SSH terminal. I got "decent" numbers of about 120 mb/sec. But from what I can make out of checking the processes the DD process never breaks 20%. I use 6GB of RAM and an "old" Celeron CPU, Celeron 430 @ 1800 mhz
the SATA controller is integrated on the MOBO, Intel ICH9, could this really be the bottleneck?
ofc 120 mb/sec is not the issue anyway because I won't be reaching that over the gigabit network anyway.
I'd like to optimize LAN transfers, reading on the forums about different ideas but aren't getting any wiser.

Code:
