NAS104 Raid decision? Xraid vs Raid 10 etc #24296869
I just got a NAS 104 and installed 4 3TB Western Digital Red disks. Since I bought all my drives I don't really plan to upgrade or mess with the drives in the near future. When I powered up and ...
Thanks. I just took a look at the issue raised with product engineering seeking an explanation for this. Here's the explanation they gave:
That's right in the expected range for RAID6 on a RN10x. RAID6 parity calculation is a very computationally intensive operation, and the CPU on the RN104 is not capable of doing RAID6 without a significant performance drop vs. other RAID levels. It's similar to using encryption on RN10x. RAID10 may be a better option if faster performance is desired.
If you choose to continue to use RAID6, you can safely use the system normally with full data redundancy during the resync. So it shouldn't really matter how long the resync takes.
