OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Hi to all,
spiderman, may be this post can help you.
I'm interested by performance comparison between OS 6.0.5 and 4.2.22 on legacy Ultra 6 , and I ran some very basic tests:
Here are results of throughput transfer test on Ultra 6 model running OS 6.0.5 and 4.2.22. with 2x disks in XRAID2 mode (like RAID1)
Configuration for this test was :
1x PC DELL E4200 CPU U9600 RAM 5GB SSD Samsung 256GB, 1xNIC, running Windows 7
2x ReadyNAS Ultra 6 CPU Atom D510 RAM 2GB 2xDD WD Red 3TB XRAID2, 2xNIC bonding ALB, (one NAS running RAIDiator 4.2.22 and one NAS running ReadyNAS OS 6.0.5)
Gigabit network
Test : robocopy running on PC with 10 parallel threads to transfer files from PC to NAS and after from NAS to PC (example : robocopy \PC \\NAS /E /MT:10)
Test with big files : 6 x divx, total 4056 MB
Test with small files : 66 directories, 686 files (word, excel, pdf, jpg,...) , total 1293 MB
robocopy time reports are translated to MB/s, it's easier to compare.
Here are results, Higher is better
big files : 6 x divx, total 4056 MB
PC -> NAS - 4.2.22 : 65.49 MB/s - OS 6.0.5 : 90.13 MB/s
NAS -> PC - 4.2.22 : 70.62 MB/s - OS 6.0.5 : 75.85 MB/s
small files : 66 directories, 686 files (word, excel, pdf, jpg,...) , total 1293 MB
PC -> NAS - 4.2.22 : 34.94 MB/s - OS 6.0.5 : 22.93 MB/s
NAS -> PC - 4.2.22 : 35.91 MB/s - OS 6.0.5 : 35,91 MB/s

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has installed the new OS on a Pro not Pro 6 and what they have noticed in terms of performance, etc.
