Thought this would be a good demo of how my NAS copes in probably its most resource hungry state.

At this point it’s been syncing nearly 329 of 392Gig over the course of 10hrs25mins

If I'm not mistaken, 329GB in 10 hours & 25 mins equates to about 9MB/s.

Pretty good utilisation for a 100Mb network but you seriously need to get gigabit ethernet installed - standard fast ethernet really doesn't cut it anymore.

I was thinking of purchasing this model of NAS. What configuration is your hard drives?

What do you think of the quality and ease of use of the unit please?

I have had a 409 for over a year now and I love it to bits
Its fast , low power , small and very very configurable

I have three 1.5TB seagates in a raid5 configuration. so there is one spare slot. i have another (same model) drive in my pc which is my D drive which stores everything, except video. I bought the same drive for the D drive because when the 3Gig I have in the Qnap becomes low, I can use that without any possible conflictions, increasing my storage to 4.5Gig.

The D drive is mirrored to the Qnap using Super Flexable File Syncronizer. The reason behind the mirroring; i want fast access to specific files (docs, photos etc) but still make sure they are backed up. Video files are not on the D drive because i stream them to a media player, wirelessly, downstairs, plus they are not important in the same way my photos are.
