Found this on another forum, regarding the DNS-323 -
"On a 100 mb/s LAN I get around 69 mb/s (that's 69 megabit/sec or about 8.5 MegaBytes/sec) and roughly double that on a gigabit LAN - read speeds are perhaps 10-15% higher."

edit - And, here on this forum:
"500MB file size, 2 iterations (ran this test config two different times and the results are the lowest ones although never seen the NAS deliver faster than 29MB reads and 14MB writes)
Using my primary harddrive, Patriot 64GB SSD SATA2 connection.. My HD is not a performance blocker and tested to transfer at 134MB/sec writes and 152MB/sec reads qualifying that it has more that sufficient capacity, transfer rates to accommodate gigabit speeds and that the system MB can handle it.
It appears that the NAS connection needs to be tweaked somewhat and is certainly not optimized.
Results..
PC (Vista 32B Ultimate) <-> DNS-323
Write Avg - 12MB/sec
Read Avg - 23MB/sec
PC <-> Laptop(XP Pro SP3):
Write Avg - 26MB/sec
Read Avg - 82MB/sec
The DNS-323 is my bottleneck on Reads and writes.. Gigabit connections, 9000 jumboframes (tried other sizes, this is my best performance).
Running twin Western Digital WD6400AAKS-00A7B drives 640GB in Raid 0 configuration connected to my DLink DGS-1005D gigabit switch.
The Laptop to PC connection is what I would have expected for read speeds although I did expect write speeds to be at least 50% higher. The drives in the NAS are fast enough to handle it."
