Performance Measurement

[marty]

I was discussion with a friend about N2100 Performance vs. D-Link DNS-323 posted on SmallNetBuilder . I tried to tell him that N2100 is actually performing better, because although N2100 is a little slow on the write test but a lot faster on the read. The only thing is I can not find any article to back me up.
Do any of you know such a article on the net?

I did a series of tests when the performance-boosting firmware 2.1.01.4 was first released.

All the tests were performed using IOzone.

In my SmallNetBuilder-like (used to be tomsnetworking.com) tests using IOzone, i was consistently getting arournd 14.5 Meg/s of write transfer rate in both JBOD and RAID0 from my Powerbook using SAMBA. The file transfer rate is a little lower when using AFP.

Hope this helps.
