So I'm just now trying out my wired connection speeds between my mac (OS X 10.8, 10/100/1000 ethernet), through my Apple TimeCapsule (10/100/1000) via Cat5e cable, to my HP Proliant micro server. The server is running 4 hard drives in Raid-Z1 mode - which I have chosen for capacity more than data redundancy or performance. The hard drives are HGST 7200RPM drives with 64MB cache.
Activity monitor reports the transfer speed of several gigabits of smaller files (JPEG/TIFF) as anywhere between 3 MB/s and 60MB/s.
Is there anyway to optimize / tune transfer speed?
I know that I could probably run all my internal network connections through a dedicated Gigabit switch, but aside from running out an purchasing new hardware, is there any software tweaking I can take advantage of? Also, is there some sort of benchmark I can run to test my system performance on Napp-it?
