Really???? Only 150GB, not time to run upto speed?????
I suspect your SSD may benchmark @ over 400, but try a real-world I/O operation, I struggle to hit 800MB/S copying large files (1GB+) from my workstation to my SAN, 180MBs realworld is not too shabby over USB x |

180mb/s is not that fast.. It's good don't get me wrong
My Intel ssd has a write speed of 450mb/s and the top speed of a good quality usb3.0 cable is around 5gb/s. It's probs as your file was only small only at 150gb, dident give it time to run up to speed. Btw I'm an ICT and computing Student and training hardware technician so I do know what I'm on about. |

I got myself a Zyxel nsa-325 last week and am very impressed with it so far, transfer speeds etc are pretty quick, just ordering myself a kingston usb3.0 stick though as I am yet to experience the speeds of 3.0

its even nasty to look at.... til you pile them ontop of each other cable-tie all the cables really really neatly, hide them around the back and have the LEDs facing all the same way with the hub sitting on top with wires out the back and lights on the front and you turn them on by flipping the socket switch that powers the 6way wall extention... its light a fecking Xmas tree lol |

The electricity bill isn't nice, I am amazed i have never had a visit for Growing, never ANY snow on my roof and high sparky bills... Perhaps it is because I forget to pay them until teh red demand appears they think I am too poor to be growing

SAN is a storage area network, if gives multiple servers (or clients) file system level access to storage, NAS is Network Attached Storage, so the filer on the NAS head controls access to the media, with a SAN a client could format a volume, with NAS that can't happen as the data is served up in client friendly format with protocal abstraction ( the nas could be connected to a SAN, but the client only sees the SMB or CIFS share that the NAS dishes out, with a SAN if I format a volume as NTFS, every client mounted to that volume sees an NTFS drive, with a NAS they wouldn't have a clue what the underlying format is.
In theory SAN offers speed advantages over NAS as the data on the FC (or iSCSI) network is packed up nicely for storage and not a generic IP packet, in practice with the gear I can afford to use at home 10GB/s LAN would wallop my SAN, but I can't boot from LAN (easily)... |
