The most important thing to do is FILL IT UP before doing any tests. Preferably with scattered rushes that you then conform different edls from in different rooms. DPX files hurt more too.
Then hit playback on all your sequences and watch the lights flash.
You can also stick speed disk on each machine and run them all simultaneously ... but by far the most telling test is to take the time to fill the disks, performance on an empty san is never real world testing.

We'll be testing out a potential San replacement for our aging Unity MediaNet 5s. We'll try to through some complex sequences and as many multi groups as we can but we have a limited number of stations set up on the test rig. Edit stations are connected through 10 gig ethernet over fibre and AE stations are on 1 GB ethernet. Beside the avid drills and a producer station, also connected 1GB ethernet I'm thinking of throwing some big and small file desktop level copies as I've seen that suck the bandwidth out of some of the best of them. Trying to come as close as we can to 20 plus seats going when we only have about 5 attached. So come on and give me your special methods to "Whack A San." I want the baby to beg for mercy.
