Hi Guys,
I've spent today running benchmarks to find out whether my NAS (ReadyNAS 2100 4x 1TB) is running as fast as i need and whether iSCSI or NFS is the fastest method - I have already decided that i'm going to have to use iSCSI so that my backups work correctly but i was interested in getting some results to compare. I've used the newest version of CrystalDisk (3.0) on a number of drives:
Although on the NAS box i have slower sequential read/writes than an individual local drive, it is faster than anything else on the other benchmark tests.
Currently its running only 1x 1Gb network port, would having the second enabled help to improve this?
Can anyone else validate this? has anyone got anything else to compare against?
