Hi everyone
RAID/NAS noob here. I have ZERO experience in NAS/RAID stuffs. I have read some online suggestions and now with suggestions from all of you, I will be able to make better decision.
----------------------------------
I need some expert advice on getting the right Synology 2 or 4 bays device and accessories. I will need minimum 3GB to store all my current data.
I have 3 computers. Have LAN port, No internet and No WIFI dongle. I want 2 to 3 computers to be able to access the drive at the same time.
What will be the best setup and what are the things that I should get?
Hope some of you can help.
Thank you very much!
eh guys..
sometimes my NAS is unable to hibernate.
i didnt even run any stuffs.
any reason?
The part where you set your jumbo frames on the NAS itself will show you whether you are connected via gigabit. Whether your card can support Gigabit I suggest you check the manufacturer's site.Hi guys, I just got my 212J with 2 x 2TB WD Red with some noob questions.
Transfer speed starts off at 11mb/s and sustains at around 4+mb/s. I have enabled Jumbo Frame 7K. The speeds seems the same even when I plug in direct.
I'm not too sure of my Ethernet card, Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller(NDIS6.20) -> I can't google much info on it, Is this Gigabit enabled? Even if it is not, the transfer speed should be better I suppose?
Current setup: PC -> Dlink Gigabit Switch -> Router
Thanks!!
3TB u mean?
2 or 4 bays depends on your requirement not anyone can just tell you what to do.
but if budget permit, 4 bay.
buy the NAS and a cheap dumb switch for all 3 to use at 1 instance.
Oh ya.. typo.. 3TB minimum.
Cheap dumb switch is like a USB hub at? I noticed that Synology drive got LAN port. Can it be used to transfer files?

Hi Bro, I remembered seeing '1000', I suppose its in Giga mode? Then its really weird on the writing speed I'm having now.
disable the jumbo frame, from my personal testing, if you switch doesnt support jumbo frame, it will drop the package and handshake one more time, this will cause the speed to drop quite significant (your exp may vary though).
another things is if your switch do support jumbo frame, please enable the jumbo frame on the network port also.
In my experience jumbo frames is not worth it.. I turn it off in all my network equipment and still get 100+ MB/sec throughput on my 1511+. it is only good for benchmarking, in real world terms it's hardly the outstanding component.
One should locate the true bottleneck in the pipeline which is usually on the drive read/write stage or CPU bottleneck. I ensure my systems are not the cause of bottleneck..
I think it also depends on your router? I enabled 4k on mine and speeds increased. A quick check on snb forums also showed that my Engenius 9850 supports jumbo frames, although not documented.
