Synology DS209 Network Attached Storage
Jun 29th, 2009 | By SimonTypically, with modern day software, a record size of 64kb is used with larger files. With the sheer amount of data conveyed throughout the last few tests, it was hard to accurate gauge the Synology DS209 performance, and even harder to do so across different RAID configurations. In the next section, we will be comparing the data compiled through the tests we ran earlier to gauge performance over the various RAID configurations.
RAID 1 appears to have the fastest read times either on par with the JBOD results or ahead when the file sizes increase beyond 128MB. RAID 0 hovers in a narrow bandwidth of between 25MB/s to 35MB/s.
The difference between first and last place is a mere 10MB/s but surprisingly JBOD remains always at the top and RAID 0 is at the bottom. I would have imagined RAID 0 and JBOD being relatively close together with RAID 1 a few MB/s behind.
