More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro

Well that was easy! :D

Dropped in a E6700 SL9ZF purchased on eBay for $23. Took about 2 minutes (I spent more time cleaning the enclosure).

BEFORE CPU:

ReadyNAS_Pro:/# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 15
model name	: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  E2160  @ 1.80GHz
stepping	: 13
cpu MHz		: 1795.269
cache size	: 1024 KB

AFTER CPU:

ReadyNAS_Pro:/# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 15
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6700  @ 2.66GHz
stepping	: 6
cpu MHz		: 2660.311
cache size	: 4096 KB

BEFORE - timed reads (best of 10)

ReadyNAS_Pro:/# hdparm -t -T /dev/c/c

/dev/c/c:
 Timing cached reads:   2520 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1260.87 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 396 MB in  3.00 seconds = 131.91 MB/sec

AFTER - timed reads (best of 10)

ReadyNAS_Pro:/# hdparm -t -T /dev/c/c

/dev/c/c:
 Timing cached reads:   9502 MB in  2.00 seconds = 4759.45 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 436 MB in  3.03 seconds = 143.73 MB/sec

BEFORE - temperatures and fans

Fan SYS	897 RPM		OK
Fan CPU	1971 RPM		OK
Temp SYS	56 C / 132 F [Normal 0-65 C / 32-149 F]		OK
Temp CPU	38.5 C / 101 F [Normal 0-85 C / 32-185 F]		OK

AFTER - temperatures and fans

Fan SYS	932 RPM		OK
Fan CPU	2083 RPM		OK
Temp SYS	56 C / 132 F [Normal 0-65 C / 32-149 F]		OK
Temp CPU	27 C / 80 F [Normal 0-85 C / 32-185 F]		OK

Maybe it's my imagination but Frontview seems much snappier. So does connecting and viewing files in the Finder.

Great upgrade - totally worth it and recommended! Thanks everyone, for your help! :woot:
