QNAP TS-219P Turbo NAS
Oct 24th, 2009 | By SimonJBOD, at the logical level combines physical disk drives into one larger drive. This comes in handy when dealing with an assortment of drives. Where RAID configuration combines drives at the limit of the smallest disk, JBOD does not. Our Reader results indicate peak performance of 45MB/s but the average actually lies more in the 20MB/s.
Next, the Re-Reader test measures the system’s caching ability. While it is typical that Re-Reader results are significantly higher than those reported in the Reader test as the test measures reading performance of a file that was previously read, the effects are less significant with larger file sizes. If we attempted this with files in the few hundred KB mark, we would see a larger jump.
The peak write rate is 33MB/s and the average is a respectable 15MB/s. There’s a significant increase in the Re-Writer results for small files but difference becomes minimal for the large files.
Fab review thank you. Most helpful in deciding on a NAS to purchase. I have been looking at products for my home network for a few weeks and at last I found an informative review.
All the info will be helpful setting up the product. I was also thinking of using Seagate HDDs so I shall be pursuing that route.
Though I don’t have great IT knowledge I found the review intelligent, didn’t talk down to novices like me and yet gave loads of info helping me to make an informed judgement.
Thanks again
Bob
