How can I improve my QNAP performance?

How to achieve the best possible storage performance:

Choose a appropriate enterprise QNAP NAS storage.
Max out system RAM on the storage.
Use mSATA and SSD drives for Read/Write caching available on QTS 4.2.0, using 2 or 4 SSD and create RAID 1 or 10 as the caching pool.

What is SSD cache acceleration support?

Based on the SSD technology, the Cache Acceleration feature is designed to boost access performance of the Turbo NAS. For this feature, SSD drives need to be installed to enable this function. Please note that this feature is only available for certain NAS models, with memory requirements.

How much cache does a NAS need?

Typically recommended at around 10% SSD to 90% hard drive, the NAS system will gradually learn over time which files on the total storage system are the ones being accessed most frequently.

What is qnap thick volume?

Thick volumes are created with the entire size of the volume pre-allocated on physical storage at the time the volume is created. This pre-allocation means that creating a 100 GiB volume actually consumes 100 GiB of allocated capacity on your drives.

What is SSD cache?

SSD cache, also known as flash caching, is a cost-effective way to improve the performance of HDD arrays by storing the most frequently accessed data on SSDs.

What is the SSD maximum capacity does QNAP support?

The maximum size supported is 308 TB.

Is 64mb cache HDD good?

Is a 256mb cache HDD significantly faster than a 64mb cache HDD? There are a couple of ways to interpret your question. As I’m not sure which way you mean, I’ll try to address it both ways.

Does SSD Cache help NAS?

An SSD cache is the ideal middle ground if you want to run file-intensive workloads on your NAS while still running affordable NAS-ready hard drives. An SSD cache delivers much better performance during random read/write requests.

Why is my NAS speed so slow?

If a lot of small files are being transferred, that will be considerably slower than transferring larger files. This is due to the computing power required to scan and close many individual files rather than one file.
