Ixia Qcheck is good, you might want to try Iometer to test the disks themselves.

I've been looking for some tools to check out the performance outside of the crappy Analyzer tools that EMC provides in their Navisphere. So what do yoll use normally for testing network / file speeds? I've used things like Ixia Qcheck in the past but that requires two windows endpoints. I am looking for some basic stats I can test from users workstations, some servers and the NAS and come up with some baseline numbers of what decent speeds should be when copying or reading files. thx!
