ReadyNAS RN3xx Performance Issues (145 Mbps instead of 500 Mbps)

Can confirm read/write performance (unecrypted) on my wired gigabit network:

RN426 - 110MB/s (RAID6)

RN202 - 100MB/s (RAID5)

even my RN104 is getting 70MB/s (RAID0 and RAID1)

The RN3xx series gets around 144 / 145 Mbps of throughput when encryption is in use and 509+ Mbps when not.

500 mbps (~62 MB/s) still seems slow to me.  You should be getting around 100 MB/s for reads/writes of large sequential files over a wired gigabit network.  How are you testing this?  Is AV enabled on the NAS?

 

Newer NAS (RN 42x, RN52x, etc) have hardware support for SMB transport encryption, the RN3xx doesn't.

They're Western Digital RED drives so the 52,000 RPM might be limiting it.. along with the Asus RT-AC68U (in "media bridge" mode, looking to get that replaced in future possibly with a MIkrotik) and probably the Realtek Gigabit NIC with offloading enabled isn't helping... also the CAT6 cable is running along the power brick and next to a UPS.. could fiddle with the setup some more to get more throughput but mainly just pleased I'm not having access being 3 times slower.

 

Using hashcheck to generate hashes so the file is just being read and not stored (didn't want the disk drive of the device I'm copying to to be a factor)

 

The speeds also increased a bit more after performing a defrag.

 

No AV, No file search (I saw the RN316 have connection stability issues with that, separate post :) )

 

Interesting the newer models do hardware offloading of the encryption, probably another thing to list to my thread on the differences between RN3xx vs RN4xx  :).

 RAID5/6 might be a bad comparison for performance as it'll use the stripe to retrieve the file. This is just a RN312 with RAID1.

 

Might also be bitrot detection that means I won't get the full 100MB/s... but 70MB/s (after defrag) is close enough :). 18MB/s was painful (my Internet connection was faster)!
