Re: Comparing transfer rates with different RAM amounts
Are you sure that is not MB not Mb? If not, then check your network.
Here is some data, to use as a benchmark (because there are no network or HD speed bottlenecks here).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did this minutes ago, after reading this thread...
This is one of my SNAP 4000 units, transfering both TO and FROM the SNAP with a Test folder of MP3 files of 2 MB to 15 MB in size and multiple (sorted) sub folders...
4 x Seagate 250 GB Drives in RAID 5 (711 GB)
128 MB SDRAM (not 256)
Factory Default memory settings, nothing changed at all (like cache sizes)...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer rate TO the SNAP Server = 25 Mb/Sec Average (32.8 Mb PEAK)
Transfer rate FROM the SNAP Server = 46.9Mb /Sec Average (53Mb PEAK)
See those little dips in the line showing transfer? That is where the buffer/cache was reloading. This is where a larger buffer/cache could come in to getting higher average speeds.
