Title: Recommended settings?
Post by: Kzbd on January 24, 2010, 05:46:24 PM

I see some threads in here with recommendations for people who are experiencing slow speeds or other problems, but maybe some experts have suggestions in general for performance and stability?

It depends on how you plan to set up your NAS.  If this is a backup device, do you want a RAID 1?  Do you want fault tolerance from say a power failure which could cause data corruption?  Do you demand speed?

Two key things you must read about...
1. EXT2 or EXT3 format for the drives.
2. RAID 0, RAID 1, Seperate volumes, or JBOD.

Do a google search for those items and make up your mind.  One thing to note, this little NAS is not a speed demon.  It's good for a home NAS.
