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

NOTE: As a reference, 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 generally due to OS caching.

• Blue bars represent results using this test procedure.
• Green bars represent results using the same iozone procedure, but with iozone running on a Dell Inspiron 1000 notebook with 2.2 GHz Intel Mobile Celeron, w/ 320 MB RAM running Windows XP Home.
