Single Client Performance - iSCSI On Windows

We created a 250 GB iSCSI target and mapped it on the Windows VM. The same benchmarks were run and the results are presented below. The observations we had in the CIFS section hold true here too.

    Plex does work on the ds214play! I use it all the time on mine. Just download the latest package from the Plex website and upload manually.

    It doesn't support hardware transcoding however, and it probably never will (on evansport).

    One place that I also found it interesting that Synology didn't employ the transcoding feature of the SoC was with Surveillance Station, even in the latest SS6.3 Beta. The number of cameras and features the DS214play supported (requiring transcoding) was below what I'd expect compared to even the DS214. [http://www.synology.com/en-us/products/compare_pro...]

    How would hooking one of these up to the router and then (best case conditions in theory) streaming via powerline to an HTPC for transcoding work? Would a DS214se work just as well since the transcoding is taking place on the HTPC, not the NAS?
