OK now that the subject has been sufficiently detoured… Benchmarking can perhaps help you isolate causes for problems you're having, but you haven't said what problems you're having. You're using benchmarking data to go looking for a problem. This is a GigE network to the NAS? If it's wireless, who cares, all of these array numbers are better than wireless bandwidth and latency. If it's GigE, all of your sequential read write numbers exceed the bandwidth of wired. So what's the problem? You want better random read writes? Rebuild the array with a 32KB or 64KB chunk size, knowing you may take a small hit on the larger sequential read/writes.
