Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.3.
The TVS-473-16G shows a consistent level of write performance across all arrays when dealing with small everyday files. Read performance when in a RAID 6 array did fall away a little.
Scrolled down to the comments expecting to see the chap who trawls the internet to post his negative story on QNAP C&P’ing his woe but he’s not made it yet.
*waits*
I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for a proper review of this device—so it’s great to see your review (and that you rate it!) 🙂
I really like the TVS-x82 series with it’s dedicated SSD (and M.2) slots, but couldn’t justify the price. Although still expensive, at least this is somewhat cheaper yet still has M.2 slots for caching etc. Nice compromise, imo. The R7 graphics are also interesting.
well I have this and I’m getting only 33mb transfer speed
What is the frame rate of the the graphics chipset? I know the TVS-471 was 30 FPS so I am hoping this is markedly better and therefore better suited to also serve as a media center on top of separately being a media server.
Also which memory configuration did you end up getting, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 64 GB? Does QNAP take the cheap way out and populate all 4 SODIMM slots with the smallest possible RAM modules possible for each system memory size which thereby forces you to replace all four SODIMMs when you come around and upgrade them? Or, are they civilized and only use two of the four available SODIMM slots so you can simply add 2 more SODIMMs without wasting any RAM?
Using the built in File Station app, I got 100+mb rates from NAS to NAS.
