February 10, 201115 yr I'm replacing an Intel S4200e NAS (using RAID 5 on four disks) w/ a custom built unRAID box. Everything on the network is identical (Cat6 cabling, all going through the same gigabit switch, etc...) and I get about twice the speed with the S4200. The one difference is I'm using green drives in the unRAID and 7200RPM disks in the S4200. My next step is to add an SSD cache drive to my unRAID. Hopefully that'll remove any disk bottle neck. It will probably not help all that much and is a waste of an SSD drive. A regular HDD would have worked just fine. What speeds were you seeing and what speeds are you seeing now. Without numbers we can't help you all that much.
February 19, 201115 yr A little update, for some reasons, I'm not able to connect to unraid using //tower on my IE from my win7 PC but that's another issue. For the speed, I notice that for the last couple days, it slows down significantly from 30MB/s transfer to 15MB/s. I went out and bought an Intel Gigabit PCIE NIC per recommendation on this thread but it doens't help a bit. Did I do something wrong here? Last question, how do I obtain the syslog? thanks. QN
February 19, 201115 yr Click the syslog link and right at the top of the actual log is a link to download the entire thing. Save it to your PC as .txt or .zip, then attach that file to a post. They're generally too big to post as is.
February 19, 201115 yr I'm not even able to access it from my IE in Win7 by doing //tower at the address bar. Has anybody been able to do this in win7? Thanks. QN
March 29, 201115 yr //tower is not a valid address in IE. If you are trying to bring up the web interface go to http://tower If you are trying to access the share open \\tower in Explorer, NOT Internet Explorer
