We are testing the hardware within our gigabit network which is pretty much as good as you will get for a home or small office environment. It is a mixed network with several 1GBit switches for ultimate performance.
We switch the Raid configuration to ’0′ across multiple drives to keep the testing across platforms as closely matched as possible.
Performance is very strong indeed, averaging 106 MB/s across our network. Write speed drops to around 71 MB/s which is still very impressive.
Next we created a folder of files, 500mb/s in size with a variety of data , from small database documents to larger jpgs and bmps.
When dealing with varied file sizes, performance drops to 73 MB/s read and 48 MB/s write, which is still very strong.
Above: We set the drives up in Raid 1 and copied a 12GB video file back and forward from our Intel Core i7 980x test machine. The local desktop had a 256GB C300 Crucial SSD drive installed.
Excellent, good price too. you could load this out with 2TB for £400 all in.
I always liked QNAP. good to see a review here. They are facing tougher competition from synology this year, but its tight.
competition is good for all.
It always amazes me when I see performance like this at such a low price. Our business had several NAS systems made years ago and they were much slower than this. cost a fortune too.
This market is growing so quickly. good time to buy.
Excellent, was beginning to think this site was owned by Synology.
I’m curious if one can build cheaper using some atom based miniITX system?
I mean than you’ll have practically PC that can do bit more than just hosting and sharing files… also point will be the power consumption…
