RN104 vs NV+V2 read performance and disk storage variance
Hello, Recently, I experienced some traumatic experience with multiple drive failures. Luckily I was able to keep all my files intact on the NV+V2. In the process, I decided to get an RN104 to act ...
Update - I just saw this link -
http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=72934&p=406274#p406274
so... i decided to try using the file manager on a windows 8 system to see what happens....
RN104: (Note: I have since added 4GB of data to this and explains the 826GB vs 822GB)
On Windows 8: size=887,116,422,736 (826GB) Size on Disk=887,146,497,024 (826GB)
On Windows 8.1:size = 887,116,422,736 (826GB) size on Disk=923,024,752,640 (859GB). 33GB difference.... wow.
this tells me the 8.1 system is not reporting the size on disk properly.. maybe?.... let's try the same experiment on the NV+v2 to see if we see similar discrepancies.
NV+V2:
On Windows 8: size=882,942,683,876 (822GB) size on Disk =882,972,759,040 (822GB)
On windows 8.1:size=882,942,683,876 (822GB) size on Disk =886,180,858,368 (824GB) hmm... only 2 GB difference here.
Is the RN104 (6.1.8 ) reporting the "size on disk" to Win 8.1 differently as compared to how the NV+v2 (5.3.10) reports it to Win 8.1?
Based on the link above, looks like this may explain the different behavior.
