Synology DS414j: An Ideal Backup NAS
by Ganesh T S on July 10, 2014 9:00 AM ESTSingle 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.

I was dealing with the exact same thing and ended up building my own based on the Intel J1900total cost for me was $400

I just want to mention that Mindspeed's CPE processor business has been acquired by Freescale and the Comcerto C2200 is now the Freescale LS1024Acolinstu - Thursday, July 10, 2014 - link
Absolutely love my DS412+!basroil - Thursday, July 10, 2014 - link
That iSCSI performance is really lackluster considering the ratio to CIFS performance of other drives. But given that this one's an ARM system rather than Atom, perhaps the device is optimized for multiple users?peterfares - Friday, July 11, 2014 - link
So many NAS reviews lately! Thorough as always!Andy Chow - Friday, July 11, 2014 - link
Since you guys have 12 x OCZ Technology Vertex 4 64GB laying around, could you run a benchmark with SSD? In general all NAS should be benchmarked with SSD.A SSD would show the bottlenecks of the device itself.
I really wonder if cheap devices like these could really become fast enough and scalable to replace commercial systems.

"A SSD would show the bottlenecks of the device itself." -- Andy ChowSort of. One device might be better at using drives in parallel than another - a difference that would disappear with extremely fast drives. But if you intend to use the NAS with SSDs then of course SSD benchmarks would be more useful to you.

"for example, DS414j and jx4-300d both don't support hot-swap" type "ix4-300d" ?brifin5 - Friday, July 18, 2014 - link
You can use Long Path Tool as well.carage - Monday, August 4, 2014 - link
I was inclined to buy a Synology NAS device recently, until I heard of thing called SynoLocker. I would think twice before there is an official solution to this problem.
