XBench Performance Comparisons (OSX)

[meep]

Today I upgraded my unRAID with a SuperMicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8PortSATA2 PCI-X card and replaced 2x 500MB IDE Drives with 2x 1GB SATA drives and replaced my old 120GB cache with one of the 500s.

 

The whole process was painless and easy and really reinforced for me what a great system unRAID is.

 

Anyway, just for fun, I ran Xbench (http://www.xbench.com/) from my Mac on a user share across the network. I've reproduced the results below. If anyone else has a Mac, could they do the same thing, just to see how we compare?
