RE: Storage subsystem for HA server

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used IO Meter http://www.iometer.org/

A little difficult to understand at first - but it's actually quite simple.

benchmark done.

There are probably better apps out there that are used in reviews in mags
and hardware sites though.
