The transfer speeds are about the same over 1GB connection, but you can get a bit more with more connections.
I finally gave up with SATA300, and installed a 4 port SATA150 PCI card to put the drives onto. .. will see if this is more stable than the SATA300.
Lastnight, I tried to turn off write caching, and ended up losing my whole server configuration. But as luck would have it, a quick 'scrub' of the ZFS filesystem after reconfiguring the pool brought everything back online. .. whew.... would have had to re-rip about 200Gb of movies if the data went AWOL.
Unfortunately, freenas shows it's immaturity. I would appreciate a better response to my questions than, "downgrade your hardware"...
lesson for today... stay with your older hardware boys.
