Synology Disk Station DS210j
Feb 24th, 2010 | 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. As mentioned before, the caching effects impact the DS210j regardless of disk configuration. We don’t see the true speed results until the file sizes exceed 500MB. At this point the drive has a peak write/re-writer speed in the 60MB/s region.


The use of RAID 0 has a noticeable performance improvement with the reader and re-reader performance compared to JBOD. The chart indicates the average speed closer to the 50MB/s for larger transfer sizes and a range between 40 and 50MB/s for the smaller transfer sizes.

Wrong, DS209+II has Freecsale mpc8533 PPC Processor, only DS710+ and DS1010+ have Intel Atom procs.
