Want to setup what I think is a NAS*HELP*

Forgive me for being off topic, but what application are you using to generate those speed benchmark charts?

**Detale** · 05-17-2010, 10:37 PM

No worries pal, It's on the Freenas OS under the Status-Graph tabs.

Hey guys. Please correct me if I'm wrong but JBOD will lump together different disks of different sizes into 1 large disk right?

For the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to do it here

nm, i got it now. I didn't format the disks after creating the jbod array.

Glad to hear it's all working so well for you now. I think I'm going to have to look at getting everything on Gbit ethernet. Those speeds are just too juicy looking.

Don't know your location but it's not that expensive really. Just keep in mind when you are upgrading something to but a gigabit part.

Installed FreeNAS last night and had it up and running for my popcorn box after 45 minutes. This thing is just fantastic. Lots of options and something for everyone whatever disks they may have.

Got it running around 400-500Mbps without any issues. I'm using 2 1TB WD GP disks right know and I can't get more than 40MB/s write speed to the damn thing and from one computer to another (both have WD black disks) I get 60+ MB/s so I guess I have try those instead.

Edit:
Got the 750GB black disks around 47 MB/s.

Maybe I have to get a HW RAID card instead of software or something, or what do you guys think?

Problem fixed itself somehow. Got around 60MB/s.

I had the same issue for a time. I tried different ethernet cards for a bit and it worked itself out. What specs are you talking about here? Are all of your parts gigabit or?

Me?

I just run it on some Asus Formula thingy with a Q6600 (my old gaming computer) and using the internal NICs and gigabit is working fine.

Haven't had a single issue with the box since I set it up.

Ahh great. If you were having NIC probs I have a bunch of cards laying around that I could have sent to you if you lived in the USA. Thats why I asked man.
