Thread Starter 
What would you suggest to test Disk I/O Performance, not looking at running a database server so i'm not too concerned about lots of little reads and writes so much as fast transfers...

Anything that supports >2TB? 64-bit? Windows and Linux?

my personal favorite disk I/O benchmark tool is IOZone. it's available for both Linux/Unix and Windows:

It's very tunable benchmark and gets you interesting things like this:
