I was just wondering if the tester waited for the parity drive to finish building parity before testing? Also there are many performance options and things to consider for unraid, such as putting the Parity drive on the built in motherboard controller, and the other drives on a seperate controller. Performance varies alot depending on what type of card you use (PCI-e, PCI-X, or slow pci).

I am currently in the testing phase for unraid myself.
So far I am very happy with the performance.

Also keep in mind I am testing the beta version. Version are coming out very often, always improving on performance and options.
Some people have even install vmware server 2.x inside unraid.
Others have created an unraid port where it includes utils like nzb downloaders, and torrents , search for bubba unraid.
It is very promissing.
