QNAP TS-439 Pro Turbo NAS
Aug 25th, 2009 | By SimonCrystal Disk Mark and ATTO Disk Benchmark are more conventional benchmarking applications. They do the exact same as IOZone and IOMeter but in a far more simplified manner. The only take a minute or two to complete versus the several hours it takes to finish one run with IOZone.
Since Crystal Disk Mark and ATTO Disk Benchmark are so similar, it is no surprise that the results are similar. JBOD and RAID 0 are at the top, often with RAID 0 in front. RAID 5 and 6 are a few steps back and the results between those two configurations are almost non-existent.
The TS-439 consumes 29 watts while in the sleep mode; this is significantly more than I would have guessed to be the cause. As soon as the unit wakes up we hit 47 watts for idling and 49 watts when the device is reading or writing in RAID 0. Configuring the hard drives is a CPU taxing performance and we need 52 watts for this task.
