FAQ - Measuring performance with IOMeter
Below are step I do to setup IOMeter. After you get an understanding of all the settings you can adjust them to test a specific test case you are interested in. If anyone has any questions just let ...
I also did the test with all the same setup
Here are my results with the REadyNAS Pro Business with 5 x 500 GB WD RE3
256Kb SEQ Read = 40.91 MB/s
256Kb SEQ write = 63.73 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 19.25%
When I drag and drop from SSD and the RAPTOR (RAID 0) to the NAS I get aroung 60MB/s average
But when I drag and drop from the NAS to SSD (PC) or RAPTOR it is slower at around 40 - 50 MB/s
Here the same test on my SSD drive
256Kb SEQ Read = 238 MB/s
256Kb SEQ write = 70.23 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 4.54%
Here the same test on the 2 WD RAPTOR (RAID 0)
256Kb SEQ Read = 160.12 MB/s
256Kb SEQ write = 151.23 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 4.46%
So my RAPTOR RAID0 setup is faster than the limit of 1 Gbits (125 MB/s) so these drives should be fast enough
to tell me the fastest speed the Pro can go.
Not impressed about the results and it's far away from what I expected to get performance from the Pro.
I have no network errors
Update firmware to the latest version, factory reset (to use EXT 4) then X-RAID2 single redundancy
Journaling disabled (all the optimal settings)
No jumbo frame (my Linksys WRT610N doesn't support it)
Full duplex, 1Gbs connection, CAT5 cable (good quality)
I don't think that it could be the Linksys WRT610N that will slow down the speed but to be sure I would want to try to connect
the Pro directly to the PC. On my PC I have 2 LAN port.
How can I plug the Pro directly to my PC to test it ?
How can I improve the speed of the Pro to get speed in the 80 - 100 MB/s the way it should be.
I pick the Pro Business instead of the NVX because I wanted to get better speed. But so far I think I took the bad decision
if I check the speed I get with mine.
Another last question: What is the normal range temp for the CPU on the Pro ? I get around 59 degree !
My Quad core overclocked to 3.0Ghz is not even reach these temp at full throttle !
Here the spec of my PC as information
Quad core Q6600 OC 3.0Ghz
8GB memory
1 80 GB Intel 25M SSD Drive (Windows 7 64 bits)
2 WD Raptor in RAID 0
Wireless N router Linksys WRT610N
APC Smart-UPS 1500 VA
