What about CPU speed & RAM speed of this NAS?
682862
I think the CPU speed is 600mhz and RAM amount (not speed) is 64 mb. Buffallo's Linkstation Duo is 1.6ghz and 254 menory.

I don't really know, I could find no specs as to low or high, but at 4 Gb's per stick & I have 2 sticks which has been more than sufficient. I multi task sometimes with 3 or 4 programs at same time and doesn't seem to affect the speed any.

Possibly - depending on several factors. Data size would be one. The other factor would be what NAS you have and what the data rate (throughput) is. Most manufacturers don't publish this beyond interface speed, but you may be able to find benchmarks on the web.I replaced 2 WD Green drives with three of these and added a mSATA accelerator to my Drobo 5N and it was a marked improvement. In this case the mSATA was likely most responsible for the boost.Short answer - the Green drives are 5400 variable speed while this drive is 5900. I doubt you would see any detriment over a 7200 drive in general use. Possibly - depending on several factors. Data size would be one.

Good answer. I just wanted to mention for others who may read this that most NAS systems (if that's what you use it in) will do their own disk surface checks during the setup or rebuild.

It is rather confusing. On the link I provided, scroll down to the "Technical Details" part of the page. It reads "Minimum 20MB/ sec sequential read/write speeds." Best of luck!

I know it can handle 2 tb because that is what I have. I THINK it depends more on bios.

Hi, Max supported RAM is 16GB. We have no data on the HDD aspect. Thanks, PCrush

I am also using the WD Red 3TB NAS hard drives WD Red 3TB NAS Desktop Hard Disk Drive - Intellipower SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX

Hey Taylor, I am currently running 4 4GB WD drives and almost the same config as you for FreeNAS. I decided on 1333 Mhz memory since the price wasn't that much different. I have 3 of these sytems running ESXi 5.5. Great motherboards IMO.

I haven't noticed a difference for accessing files from the NAS and files stored on hard drives mounted on my PC. There probably is a difference but both are fast enough to not be a bother. When I move large numbers of jpg files it does take significant time but I usually set up that task and then go to bed.

Would depend on the disks you purchased for it and your network setup. This is an entry-level unit. Performance for me is adequate to back up multiple computers. Make sure you have jumbo frames enabled on all of your network devices. If you want a NAS that can really move data quickly across a network, look for models with dual ethernet ports and use trunking.

Thank you for the info, I'll take a look. By the way would you recommend a 1tb 5400rpm or a 750gb 7200rpm? Is the speed trade-off worth the space trade off? thank you

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

How much Ram do you have in your machine? What is the Processor speed. That would play a factor as well.

I simply recommend the product. Since I purchase it i haven´t experienced any issues with the NAS except windows related problems, like access problems to the secured directories, because windows issues. In summary I recommed the NAS, to me is a 4 star products, the 5th is not possible because there is no perfect product and I feel the NAS could be faster, I think this is processor related.
