RN716X performance
Hello all We're looking at at the ReadyNAS 716x, and read the Anandtech review linked to on the readynas.com resources tab: http://www.netgear.com/business/products/storage/readynas/readynas-deskt...
here is our setup & the results of our testing
RN716 --->xXS712T --->Win2012R2
The Server is a i7-960 running X58A-UD7 Gigabyte motherboard.. the drivers are 250GB Samsung 830 & intel 510 SSD
NIC is an Intel X540-T2 Dual port 10GB bonded together using 802.3ad Directly to the XS712T RN716X using the 10GB ports
also bonded... nothing else on the switch.. drives are plugged into the older SATA/3Gb ports on the MB 1st generation i7 board
The NAS is mixed drives 3-4TB ST4000VN 2-ST32000644NS 1-HDS723030ALA640 about 12TB XRAID/RAID5 80% full.
copying about 200GB (right click a bunch of folders select copy) then \\nasip\share -paste
files are everything from documents, videos, windows files etc. the results are about 215MB/s
we thought this was slow so we opened a tech support case with Netgear (Level2 SE) They reviewed the switch/NAS config tried Adapter load balancing, 802.3ad
various hash types basically same result. the SE said he did a "consult" with a Level-3 support -who basically said "variety of factors effect speed" but couldn't
give us any numbers of what we should expect... they also didn't really do a good job explaining the advan/disadvantages of the types of load balancing.
you would honestly think some of the marketing/presale engineering dept would be pushing there 10GB switches like the XS712T with the 10GB Readynas with
some type of "whitepaper" that talks about this and client Server setup in more detail.. as it's a "netgear solution" expect for the client NIC cards.
let me know your thoughts or how to increase performance.. we are using the NAS for storage
so unless someone can built 4TB SSD for under $500 each were sticking to HDD's on the NAS :-)
