This test measures the average filesystem performance of NASes at the Ethernet connection speed and mode described in the chart title.

• represent results using this test procedure.
• represent results using this newer test procedure.
• represent results that are limited to approximately 70 MB/s maximum (when using a Gigabit Ethernet LAN connection) by the older test bed.
• represent results with iozone running on a Dell Inspiron 1000 notebook with 2.2 GHz Intel Mobile Celeron, w/ 320 MB RAM running Windows XP Home.

NOTE! Only tests with the same color bars are directly comparable!

NOTE: The maximum raw data rate for 100Mbps Ethernet is 12.5 MBytes/sec and 125 MBytes/sec for gigabit Ethernet. Throughput above these values is due to memory caching effects in the client OS and NAS under test.
