Pulled a disk for testing, web UI not responding.

Yeah I've got a fairly high end PC with a 500GB Samsung Evo, I can push a full 110MB/s to my Windows based N54L microserver.
Regardless, I'm happy with my new speeds, ranging from 55 to 80mb - considering the data is safer, I'm good with that.

I also think 55+ is a bit high for my liking and it's winter here too, summer they will be literally in 10c hotter ambient air, although I don't (think?) that instantly translates to the drives being 10c hotter
Bloody 7200's - not ideal
EDIT: I know it's unlikely - but I don't suppose there's a FreeBSD fancontrol tool is there? I could force the Microserver to ramp up the fan speed.

When I quoted performance, I did preface it by mentioned spinning rust in both devices. Most of the folks that have posted performance numbers on the N40L don't have SSD's in their workstation.

And, the CPU in your N54L is 50% faster than the 40. I too, have both a 40 and 54.

Bear in mind here just how many people tried to claim it's RAM, CPU and what not. Those kinds of posts do not help anyone if you're trying to defend it operating at less than 1/3 the speed it's capable of as normal. I'd expect members here to have an /approximate/ idea of the performance FreeNAS can offer.
