QNAP TS-219P Turbo NAS
Oct 24th, 2009 | By SimonAnyone itching for a sense of speed has probably created a RAID 0 system. RAID 0 splits data across multiple disks (2 is the minimum). In theory, with each disk attached in RAID 0 the likelihood of data failure increases but so does speed. However, our average Reader and Re-Reader results only moved a bit – the difference is hardly noticable. We’re speaking of a 2MB/s difference on average.
The difference is even smaller with the Writer and Re-Writer results. While in theory RAID 0 should perform better, the limitations of transferring data to two drives through a Gigabit network in RAID 0 are not apparent with IOZone. We’ll see what some of the other benchmarks have to say.
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
