Readynas 104 - Slow transfer speeds
Dear all, I recently lost all my data to corruption of the array of my RN104. I've since then recreated an entirely new NAS based on NASware 4.0 TB drives in RAID5. I have also thoroughly sea...
I think your numbers are not too bad. The RN104 is weak because of its cpu and ram. I have an RN104 and an RN204. While the 104 is doing 45 to 50 the 204 is doing 85 to 90 MB/sec (write speed) under exactly the same conditions infrastructurewise.
If you like you could go through a collection of hints how to improve statbility and performance of RN104 following this link:

I've just tried to do bonding on both adresses & to set it to adaptive load balancing. Changes nothing in terms of speed... I'm afraid the slow CPU is indeed the culprit... I am wondering if I should scrap it and try a RAID10 maybe? Would that give me much performance that the NAS can actually handle?
I havent started filling it, so there is still time.
