HI everyone, i write to you to know what you think about general NAS performance. I wanna know that cause in last days i was thinkin to buy a NAS for my home network (actually i got i pseudo-server that acts like file server). I've checked some of reviews on www.smallnetbuilder.com and campared their perfomances results provided by the site.
For my task i wont to spend too much say i tried to do the same test of smallnetbuilder on my actually file server and i've discovered that none of NAS reviwed there got performances comparable to my actual file-server, mainly on write performances!
So now i want to understand if i did some mistakes or if the hardware makes the differences between a computer that is a file server and a NAS, so it's better use a computer instead of a real NAS.
This is a link for the pdf file in which i've compared results from smallnetbuilder of three NAS i was interested into and results (obtained with the same benchmark software) of my file-server computer: http://www.mediafire.com/?8ezgdewz1jg
Let me know what you think about it!
