Testing Freenas RAID performance with iozone

[HeloJunkie]

OK so I am setting out to test a bunch of different RAID configurations on a freenas server that I have built as a result of this thread and I am using the builtin performance test.

SETTINGS => ADVANCED => PERFORMANCE TEST

I am seeing some very interesting test results and before I continue to do a full set of tests I was just wondering if the builtin test was actually accurate or if there was a better suggestion. Several threads people were using dd instead:

Not as of yet...I have been using DD instead!
