I installed the 4.1++ virtual machine on VMware, my box is a refurbished computer with an ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard, a Vertex 3 128GB SSD and some 500gb drives to toy around with differents configurations under Windows Server 2012 (you know, RAID 5, storage pools...). My local network is running at 1GB/s.
I tried to run the VM on the SSD, on a RAID 5 array and the storage pool thingy, and each time the results were the same : max 30MB/s when I was copying large files on the virtual machine. With a previous try with the OpenMediaVault distribution, I was hovering around 90MB/s with a RAID 5 array (SMB shares in both cases).
So I found this cheap Intel server NIC on Ebay, and when I receive it I will try the standalone firmware.

I would like to share my experience here.

A big thanks to the XPEnology team !
