  1. DS920+ doesn't work in VMware Workstation, but in VirtualBox:

    baremetal i3-9100 with dva1622 (also low spec gemini lake cpu in original hardware)

    looks ok for me on my i3-9100

    maybe a base dsm system with (lower specs) older cpu as base like 3615 might perform better for you?

    Your overall system performance is very impressive.
    However, with our Pentium/Celeron® processors from the J product range, we boldly have 3 times better performance, based on your 65W TDP compared to our 10W. 🙂

  3. Thank you

    @IG-88 @Jseinfeld

    for your additional input!

     

    However, you are using the more powerful Gemini/Coffee Lake CPU. This does not have only 2MB, but 4/6MB cache and much faster memory bandwidth through DDR4 RAM. The problem doesn't seem to exist there.

     

    The observed problem/topic relates to Braswell/Skylake. But maybe I should consider driving/testing DS920+ on this hardware instead of DS918+. Is it due to a different version of the kernel, or is DS918+ known to be slower per se?

     

    Wonder if others up to the Apollo/Sky Lake family are as intense.

  4. Hallo, ich überlege mir eine aktuelle DS223j mit 1.7GHz 4c/4t für 198€ inkl. Versand anzuschaffen.

     

    Nun frage ich mich, ob es über die /etc/synoinfo.conf genauso wie bei Intel Disk-/Rackstation möglich ist, auch USB-Festplatten "intern" zu nutzen.

    Benötige es u.A. für die Übernahme meiner RAID4-Installation.

     

    Würde mich freuen, wenn es jemand bereits probiert hat und berichten kann.

     

    Werte, die geändert werden müssten, sind:

    internalportcfg

    usbportcfg

    esataportcfg

     

    Was steht denn bei den Modellen mit Realtek RTD CPU da überhaupt drin? Bitte ggf. hier posten.

     

    Herzliche Grüße

  7. Now the curious thing, the same DSM in the Virtualbox under Windows is almost twice as fast as native (1080 => 1978).

    The fact that it is slower than under Windows itself is probably due to the fact that I am running a 32-bit Windows 10 with the 64-bit DSM as client. I will also try it with Windows 64-bit.

  10. Hello, I've been struggling with the memory and CPU performance of DSM on Intel systems for about a year.

     

    Someone who only runs DSM as a USB hard drive on the router will certainly not care about this topic. Maybe the reference to the anyway faulty Apollo Lake CPUs:
    https://www.computerbase.de/2019-09/intel-apollo-lake-lpc-degradation-defekt-stepping/

     

    My focus is on Intel boards with Braswell to Skylake CPUs, as these are very energy-efficient and at the same time affordable for use as NAS, or are already left over as a superseded device.

     

    Now the problems that plague me:
    - the CPU only runs on the base clock frequency and not on boost, on systems where Intel EIST cannot be switched off in the BIOS.
    - Memory modules only run at 1066MHz, but they should work at 1600 or 1866MHz.

     

    Since in Linux dmidecode -t 17 is displayed incorrectly also in Windows Task Manager/Performance/Memory/far right, I decided to use the 7-zip program, which is available on all OSs. Anyone whose test is far below my "reference system" should probably consider running Xpenology on Windows in the Virtualbox.

    I look forward to your assessments.

    Best regards

  11. Yes, when the desired update level is reached, discard the replacement hard disk and start again with the 4 data hard disks. After the migration, everything should be fine.

     

    If the update cannot be carried out on the replacement hard drive, you must first downgrade there to a maximum of 6.2.4-U5 as described here in the thread.

  12. Problems during an update can be a "normal" error caused by the manufacturer. Check the internet for the error, or let me know what exactly isn't working.


    Does the problem exist via the GUI ...?

    Surely you have to install 7.1.1-42962 (with Update 1) first.

     

    Consider entry #207 and #208.

     

    Also doesn't it work with a fresh installation on a single spare drive without the full install on the hard drives?

  13. No not at all. It is similar to RAID0 and RAID10. RAID5 is totally slow because the data disks also have to write the partity data of the others, and this at a completely different place on the disk.
    With the two hard drives in the 2-bay, I always write > 400 MB/s. Writing the parity data doesn't matter, since that's what the dedicated drive is for. Also, the parity disk only has to provide half the write performance.

    If a disk fails in the RAID5, the performance is completely gone, where it would be almost unnoticed with RAID4.

     

    They would like to sell >8-bays with fat processors, that's not possible when you can set it up easily on the cheap devices via GUI.

  14. Why is RAID4 not supported in the Synology GUI when there is nothing faster.

     

    Even with my 2-bay, the performance is extraordinary and can't be topped. For this I connect a 3rd hard drive for parity via USB or eSATA.

     

    It would be nice if you could add it to the GUI via hack. At the moment I'm only working with "RAID4" as description.

  15. Hello, this is normal misconduct by the manufacturer. I'll take a look at the workaround description.

     

    Here you are:

     

    First upgrade the 6.2.4 to 7.0.1. Then comes the trick from grisu:
    I found a way to get to 7.1.
    You simply change the contents of the /etc/VERSION file to an old version.
    Then restart and the message migration appears in the web client. Import the DSM version specified in the migration path and then after the migration to version 7.1 update 2.
    But then you have to adapt the /etc/defaults/synoinfo.conf file again with the parameters mentioned.

     

    Best regards
