Hello, and thanks for taking the time to look at this thread!
I have just bought a DS210j Synology NAS drive.
It has the latest firmware version DSM 2.3-1167.
The unit has identical Samsung 2TB HD203WI drives in it (Synology Compatible, on their list)
It is configured as RAID1 (Mirrored).
My network is all CAT6, with gigabit switches.
I bought this to replace a 1TB Iomega Home Media Network Drive which cost about £110. This was mirrored nightly to another 1TB drive (giving me the data assurance I need).
I was looking forward to trying out the new Synology DS210j unit, and I noticed that whilst I was copying files from my old network drive to the new drive, it was taking an incredible amount of time.
As an example, if I copy a 2.39gb file from each of the network drives to my Mac desktop, the performance is as follows:
From Iomega Home Media Server to my Mac: 1m,19s (Seen as an SMB device)
From Synology DS110j to my Mac: 1m,29s (Seen as an Appleshare device)
I was really expecting something much better in terms of performance. Is this really what I should be expecting?
Also, browsing my music directory (860 folders) takes a little while on the Iomega drive, but on the Synology drive takes up to 20 seconds to show the directory listing, or if its quick, jumping back to the root takes 20 seconds - what on earth is going on?
BTW, I have tried modifying the jumbo frame setting, with no real difference.
Does this mean I need to go to a hugely expensive NAS solution to get the RAID-1 performance that I desire e.g. Qnap Turbo NAS (TS-239 Pro II)? (I'm thinking of returning this already, as it's just not living up to expectations).
Thanks,
Charles.
