    Does NAS performance matter?

    I must say that I don't understand much of what you are saying. Probably, my knowledge in the subject is insufficient. :-)

    Does NAS performance matter?

    I'm as confused as you are. When I didn't find anything in their documentation I was so surprised that I felt that I had to ask them directly. That's what I got: I still couldn't believe, I thought that they may be had misinterpreted my question and I asked again with some examples how I...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    I'm not sure what you mean. What I meant was that a real backup should handle several copies of files in case a file is accidentally overwritten/deleted/corrupted. This kind of backup is implemented on different platforms (Mac OS X, Linux) using hard links. Sometimes it's called snapshot...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    Thank you all for the excellent answers! I guess I know what I should look for now. Actually I was looking at TS-412 (with the same performance as TS-212) but... and this is a huge but: I've just found out that Qnap does not have versions backup!!! What's the point of a backup if I...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    Oh, thanks. :-) That's the only article I didn't read. :-D I just trusted your tests without going into details. :-) I can see now that I've missed some info. :-) I can see that you test for RAID 0 if nothing else is said. I guess I should look at RAID 1 values. Do you have any information...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    When I work with photo/video editing many small read/writes are done rather than large file transfer. What benchmark does reflect this type of operation? How fast is USB 2 regarding small read/writes? I'd like to compare with USB because I work with external drives connected by USB2 now. It's...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    Thank you for your reply Tim! Yes, I've read this article, as well as all other articles on this site concerning NAS. :-) I don't know what's wrong with my DNS-323. May be it's just too old. :-) Anyway, I'm planning to replace it and as I understand the TS-212 would be enough for my needs...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    Thank you teknojnky for your reply! 802.11n has theoretically 300 Mbps. That means that I should be safe with the devices that have >40 MB/s throughput. The devices in this category I've looked at are Qnap TS-212 and Synology DS211. The latter is older and more expensive. Both have Marvell...

    Does NAS performance matter?

    I've read all the material on the site. According to the articles the performance of the NAS does not matter much for everyday needs. However, I still have my doubts. :-) What I have now: - DNS-323 (old D-link NAS) - DIR-655 (gigabit router) - modern Mac computers What I need: - store...
