26.04.2020 · Hi, I would like to have the opinion of a few people. I am debating if to build myself a UNRAID system as storage or to go with a Synology or QNAP box. What I like about Synology and QNAP is that it is ready to go, you buy the disks, you set it …

The QNAP is connected the furthest away via. a second switch. The two unraid boxes are in the same wiring closet as the core switch. Both are connected with a single connection and reporting a gig connection. I will try swapping the cable on it to see if that makes any difference. Edit: See below, I did find the NIC reverted and re-ran test on 6.8.

Unraid isn’t the only option when it comes to building a network-attached storage system. You can buy a compact pre-built NAS from vendors such as Synology or QNAP while other operating systems such as TrueNAS CORE or OpenMediaVault will also allow you to build your system but function in vastly different ways to Unraid. The following articles compare Unraid to its competitors and I will outline the benefits and drawbacks of each solution.

Jun 05, 2021 · Unraid vs. Synology vs. TrueNAS: Most robust feature set and flexibility goes to Unraid Generally ran on old (or new) consumer- or professional-grade computer hardware. While Synology sells ready-to-go systems that you just buy, plug in, and use, Unraid takes a slightly different approach. Personally, Unraid is what I choose to use at home for ...

to my knowledge, QNAP has 2 operating systems QES and QTS, which each use a different file system, QES uses ZFS and QTSa system comparitable to Unraid's, now ZFS can (and by default does) use real time compression and deduplication, Unraid does neither of those things, depending on the kind of data, this can explain the difference.

07.03.2018 · The architecture of unRAID gives slow write performance to array disks due to the overheads of the way parity is maintained in real time and this severely affects VM performance. You will get much better performance if vdisks are stored on either the cache pool, or on disks external to the array (mounted via Unassigned Devices plugin). trurl
