IOMeter Results
The results above from IOMeter’s 2004-07-30 build show the NV’s improvement in performance over the last generation ReadyNAS device. Though the performance has increased in all areas all around, the greatest improvement is seen in the Buffered Write numbers at an average increase of 7MB/sec.

could you imagine backing up that much data... oi...Genx87 - Friday, March 17, 2006 - link
Did you put any memory into this thing or just use the basic 64MB for the OS?Curious if you didnt, if the performance throughput would increase from a larger memory?

The ReadyNAS units come with a 256MB SO-DIMM module. However, transfer performance would be limited by the the NIC anyway.Purav

was journaling turned off? I've heard that has a big impact on performanceGenx87 - Friday, March 17, 2006 - link
Any chance they are planning on releasing an 8 part config?Read\write wasnt terribly impressive at 24MB\sec. That is hardly pushing the disks.
But for what i need it for that is plenty. But the 4 disk limitation kind of turns me off.

Doesn't look like they have plans for 8 drives - they seem more interested in downsizing and compacting. There is a lot of info in their forums. At first I was turned off by the 4 drive config but then I realized it would work since I could hotswap.
