ReadyNAS 516 Performance Data

Jabba, when will there be performance data?

Any udpates?

Guess the performance data wasn't really prepared before launch.

'Buy this product, but we can't tell you how well it performs'

Would you go buy a car today that didn't have a MPG value stated? What if that Ford Focus turned out to have 8MPG...

how well it performs (writes, reads, network, etc...) is not even relevant. the OS under it all, OS 6.0.4 is broken.
Netgear should spend their time updating OS 6 to a 'working' state and then worry about publishing data about performance.

I agree that Netgear need to fix any issues with OS 6, however as long as the basics work (which for me is file storage, Plex, remote access and a few other features) then I am happy to wait. I decided to go with the ReadyNAS RN516 as compared to other manufacturers to me it seemed to be a good price considering it's specifications (i3, 4GB etc.) it has a lot of potential. I am happy to wait for the OS to develop, just as long as Netgear do keep developing the OS.

Therfore based on this I want to make sure that the hardware will perform as the specification indicate if should.

Any updates on this, the unit has now been available for a while?

And where would the performance data be if/when it is published?

Looks like they don't have it yet. Otherwise why the long delays?

I am considering getting the 314. I am also disappointed in how disjointed Netgear seems to be on this new product. Most of the stuff is available, but it is hidden.

I saw a review of the 104 on www.smallbuildernet.com that didn't reflect great speed, but it was emphasized that this was somewhat of a trade off with the stronger data integrity of the new file system.

It just feels like the performance is so bad compared to the competition that they don't really want to advertise it...

I just read the chart, why not test with teaming to see where it goes beyond 100MB/s ?

With Plex being a bult-in app now, I would expect some performance data on how well transcoding on Plex works. Granted the new beta Plex rewrites the transcoder (and is quite good), so things will change when that goes public. However, I do wonder if the 500 series would allow me to replace the $600 3 year old PC I have running plex media server. Right now, multiple transcodes can happen without worry. My existing ultra4 often couldn't maintain one decent transcode. That's why I stopped running it there. Outside of Plex, I'm not sure what the excess CPU will buy me.

The ITunes/firefly server is ancient and the original coders have abandoned it years ago. There are issues there that will never be resolved.

We abandoned using readynas remote and went for FTP because of performance issues.

DLNA is always a question mark ,largely due to which client you use and what is it capable of. I find most handle large libraries poorly. I'd love for our cable boxes to hear DLNA servers. Then all the TVs in the house might access the DVD share. When we buy future TV/blurays I'm hoping it will have a good DLNA client built in, but you can never find good info on this stuff before you have your hands on them.
