Random Mixed Data Sweep

Given the previous random tests, it shouldn't comes as a surprise to see the FreeNAS Mini walking away from the other products in the mixed workload random test. We were surprised to see the cached and uncached results so close together. We naturally expected the cached configuration to perform better than the system running without the ZIL and L2ARC drives.
