It's pretty hard to imagine that you'd get a doubling of the speed with that small an increase in processor power.  I'd be pretty shocked if that were the case.

My DNS-321 is currently sitting on the shelf until I shuffle some disks, so I can't comment on it waking up.  I'm currently running my DNS-323 and my new Synology DS209.  Now that I have the new DS209, I'm thinking of running both of the other boxes with a single disk and EXT3 filesystem.

Of course, a new job came in, and so I'm probably not going to get much time to screw around with this for a while...

GRJ, this is the computing industry, does anything ever shock you anymore, really? 

Why 1 disc in each?

Go Joe go!   

BTW, where can the specs be found for your hardware mod for the powerup after an outage? I'm curious to see if it's hardware version dependent or if it's good for everyone with a 321? What version did you get it working on?

  It's 12 pages back.  Here is a link that will hopefully take you there.


And as for the increase in the Osc to 4 MHz, I'm still not sure it can be done since I understand the SATA interface is built inside the CPU and changing the clock frequency will probably mess that up.  It will take time to figure it out as I'm not jumping into it just to destroy my NAS.  50% gain would be nice.  Wish I could ramp it up to 500MHz but I doubt that's happening.  Once I lay my hands on that datasheet I'll know more.

Ok, thanks for the info, the link didn't come through though. But I'll check your old posts and sift through them for an idea of where it may be.

To the increase, that's a real piece of nasty work if it's built in that way!    And agreed, no use in blowing up a perfectly good box for this quest of yours. But if you find a way to do the task, maybe Dlink will reward you with a new box, they have been trying for awhile now with no luck it seems.

It probably shouldn't shock me, but it would to see that kind of increase in speed.   My Synology DS209 gets those speeds, but it has a much faster processor and lots more RAM to get the job done.  It's 1.2Ghz and 256MB.

Well, since they're only going to be backups, and I'd rather have two independent backups than one RAID-1 backup, I figured to go that way.
