frater Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 To sync 1.2 TB (in 300 thousand files) of data from 1 NAS to another I bought 2 Qnap devices. Because 1 of the devices is more a slave device I took a cheaper model with 256 MB of RAM and an ARM processor. Even though the folders were already in sync that ARM device took a week to reach 100 GB. This on a local connection. I now replaced that device with the same Intel model as the master and it seems it will now get synced after 2 days (still not impressive, but workable). The 2 devices are on the same switch with 1 Gbit Ethernet. I thought of replacing that slave device with a 512 MB model. My question now is.. what brings me the most gain? The memory or the processor? I could have had that 512 MB ARM model much cheaper than that 1 GB Intel model. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
