Just for the fun of it I had to benchmark the RAID on my new file server. Or well… newly reinstalled file server.

This is the output from bonnie++. Sequential write and read is at 112 MB/s and 306 MB/s. No complaints here, I’m more than pleased with the performance. I haven’t done any ZFS tuning or something like that, it’s all just standard settings.
