IMPORTANT NOTICE
During the next period of time, the Thecus Wiki will migrate to a new site - the NAS Website. The migration is part of an improvement initiative, which includes giving the site a new look and making it more user friendly.
During the migration information may exist both at the old and new site, however slowly pages should start to be located mainly at the new site. Please see the NAS Website for details.
N2100 Evaluations and benchmarks
From Thecus Wiki
Contents |
Evaluations
Dual Ethernet / IP sharing
Does not appear to work so good...(insert more details)
One user's experience: I have my Thecus setup with Debian, two Sata drives configured as RAID1, connected through a gigabit ethernet switch to a Macbook. When trying to transfer a large file (20GB), I was unable to get beyond 1.2Mb/s, and that is with netcat - so there was no encryption going on. I'll be investigating the bottleneck, but I don't think it was the nic.
Benchmarks
Power consumption
- 13 W during spindown, 27 W during normal (light) operation
- Firmware 2.1.03
- Two harddrives (Seagate Barracuda 7200.10)
- No fan hardware modification
- No fan control module
- Fan kept running during harddrive spindown
Transfer bitrates (todo)
- Maximum bitrates
I have the N2100 connected to a 100Gigabit Ethernet LAN. The only other 100Gbps capable device is my main server. When backing up my server to the N2100 using Cobian Black Moon backup, I'm able to acheive transfer rates of 90 - 120Mbps sustained. This is by far the fastest tranmission I've seen on the N2100. Seems to work very well.
- Difference on protocols: SMB, FTP, NFS etc.
