More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro
Hi all, Does anyone know what FSB speeds the ReadyNAS Pro motherboard supports. I have three "servers" that I'm trying to consolidate. I figured that the file server (which is actually the slowe...
Ok. I happened to mention the upgrade to someone who was also after an upgrade.. Long and short, I ended up with an E6700 cpu. I've run the same hdparm -t -T /dev/c/c tests and there's a marginal improvement..
Stock Pro with E2160 (1.8GHz) and 1GB of 667MHz RAM:
Timing cached reads: 1890 MB in 2.00 seconds = 945.13 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 510 MB in 3.00 seconds = 170.11 MB/sec
Pro with E6600 (2.4GHz) and 4GB of 800MHz RAM:
Timing cached reads: 9052 MB in 2.00 seconds = 4533.83 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 628 MB in 3.00 seconds = 208.99 MB/sec
Pro with E6700 (2.66GHz) and 4GB of 800MHz RAM:
Timing cached reads: 10132 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5075.66 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 622 MB in 3.00 seconds = 207.27 MB/sec
Looks like IO is more of a problem and getting anything more than about 208MB/s out of the RAID6 array is going to be hard..
Transcoding is noticably faster though.. not that I have any real stats to go on yet..
Still, if I'm right and this is the fastest CPU you can put in a Pro, I am more than happy.. it is BLISTERINGLY fast!
If anyone wants to make me an offer for a E6600 2.4GHz chip, feel free :)
