Performance of different hw platforms

[David Albert]

Is there any data on the performance of the different platforms (321/323/325/327)?

For example, what transfer rates are achievable on a DSN-327 vs. a DNS-321?

I found some reviews of the various platforms:

• D-Link DNS-323: A brand-name NAS worth waiting for - SmallNetBuilder
• Move Over DNS-323: D-Link DNS-321 Reviewed - SmallNetBuilder
• D-Link DNS-325 2-Bay ShareCenter Network Storage Reviewed - SmallNetBuilder - Results from #3
  
• D-Link DNS-320L ShareCenter 2-Bay Cloud Storage 2000 Reviewed - SmallNetBuilder - Results from #2
  
• Any users on DLink DNS-327L | HardwareZone Forums
  
• Dlink DNS-327L: How you should NOT make a NAS – Necromancer's notes (ncrmnt.org)
  

I'm most interested in RAID 1 read and write performance.

With a DNS-321 running Alt-F, RAID 1, 2x WD Red 4TB NAS drives, I see about 8-10MB/s writes.

I'm curious how much performance improvement can be had with the newer platforms.

I now have two D-Link NAS running Alt-F firmware; both are configured as RAID1 and contain WD Red drives.

• DNS-321 achieves 8-10MB/s writes (mostly closer to 8MB/s)
• DNS-320L achieves 28-30MB/s writes (mostly closer to 30MB/s)

RAID1:

DNS-323:   Read: 14MB/s Write: 11MB/s (degraded)

DNS-320L: Read: 36MB/s Write: 26MB/s

DNS-325:   Read: 40MB/s Write: 29MB/s

DNS-327L: Read: 50MB/s Write: 41MB/s
