QNAP TS-219P Turbo NAS
Oct 24th, 2009 | By SimonRAID 1 mirrors your hard drives so each stores the same information. If one drive fails, the second drive will still have your data. This test was only conducted with two drives in use. As you can expect, the performance will decrease to allow for mirroring. With the effects of mirroring, I’m not surprised to see the read rates to be slightly slower. The average Reader and Re-Reader results are on average 3MB/s slower, a very small price to pay for added reliability.
Similarly, the average Writer and Re-Writer dipped a tiny bit – also by 3MB/s.
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
