RN104 - 18 TB HDDs

[Hawk321]

Hi,

because I couldnt find any information upfront I tested now 2 different 18 TB HDDs in the ReadyNas RN104 by myself.

- Toshiba MG09 18 TB  - (MAMR) - 32.000 kbytes/s  avg. write speed - 30.000 kbytes/s  avg. read speed- not encrypted

- Seagate  Exos X18  18 TB  - 25.000 kbytes/s avg. write speed - 29.000 kbytes/s  avg. read speed - not encrypted

Both are working fine, but not very fast which is imho because of the slow CPU in the NAS.

Hopefully you mean mbytes/s.  Still, slower than I'd expect (even given the limited cpu/memory).

Thanks for posting your results!

I corrected it, forgot to add some 0 🙂

After a while  it even drops down to 17.000 kbytes/s  with load on the other discs. Not fast at all and maybe the reason for the "stale points" I get while Chia farming.

Should be much faster:

Its only 10% of the speed which it can  go.

FWIW,  32.000 kbytes/s is just 32 kbyte/s in English speaking countries.  Using mbytes/s would be less open to misinterpretation.

It's been a while since I tested speed on the RN100 family.  But my recollection is that it can deliver about 70 mbytes/s read and 50 mbytes/s write.

Its the NAS itself the network speed is nearly 1 Gbit/s  . Check the  pic attached.

I copied a test file with 3 GB from a SSD to an NVME/2 drive on  another PC in the network.
