So I have a 323 raid 1 setup with two 1tb drives. I have this connected via ethernet to my airport extreme. Here are my wired NASpt results from my new Dell studio xps 13 (Vista)
Running warmup...
Running a 200MB file write on drive z: 5 times...
Iteration 1: 3.75 MB/sec
Iteration 2: 8.41 MB/sec
Iteration 3: 4.4 MB/sec
Iteration 4: 3.48 MB/sec
Iteration 5: 3.34 MB/sec
------------------------------
Average (W): 4.67 MB/sec
------------------------------
Running a 200MB file read on drive z: 5 times...
Iteration 1: 15.39 MB/sec
Iteration 2: 15.43 MB/sec
Iteration 3: 15.01 MB/sec
Iteration 4: 15.04 MB/sec
Iteration 5: 15.56 MB/sec
------------------------------
Average (R): 15.29 MB/sec
Seems a little slow to me! Could it be the lack of gigabit on the Extreme? I'm not even coming close to it's max though.

Seems a little slow to you? What were you expecting?
Are you sure the Extreme doesn't have gigabit - 15.29MB/sec translates to approximately 152 mb/sec, which is way more than 100 mb/sec.

I was comparing my results to other's results with the 323. Some have been getting close to 30 read.
As for the gigabit I was under the impression that earlier extremes weren't gigabit but newer ones were. I'd be happy to be wrong.

30 MB/sec is not impossible - it may not be usual, but it is certainly possible.
What most people don't seem to realise is that a read from the DNS-323 is also a write to another device, and if you have nothing capable of writing at a given speed, then you're not going to be able to read at that speed.
About a year ago I upgraded my IBM xSeries server from Windows Server 2003, to Windows Server 2008, and prior to this upgrade I was able to read from my DNS-323 at speeds just over 30MB/sec, however - during the upgrade I switched from the ServeRAID 7i integrated RAID card in the server to a ServeRAID 7t and also went from RAID1 to RAID5, and the increased write overhead of RAID5 prevents me from achieving those speeds.
