  1. QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB in QNAP TS-464

    I wanted to boost performance on my QNAP TS-464 NAS so invested in a QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB expansion card and added 2x 4 TB WD Red SN700 NVMe SSD’s.
    The idea behind adding the QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB expansion card was to obtain a 10 GbE connection and then using it’s 2 NVMe slots to create a fast 2 x 4TB SSD RAID-1 disk array.

    I also have 2 x 1 TB SSD’s mounted on the TS-464 itself as cache to a 2 x 18TB RAID-1 HDD disk array. So this cache is only used towards the HDD’s.

    Problem is that write speed to the 2x4TB SSD’s on the expansion card is surprisingly slow. The usable card interface to the TS-464 should be PCIe 3.0 x2, leaving enough bandwidth to support full 10GbE speed and a 1250 MB/s write speed to the SSD’s. But I’m not seeing these speeds at all. Copying a 8 GB file to a folder I’m able to reach 180MB/s to 220 MB/s ,

    What am I doing wrong or what have I misunderstood?

    1. The write speed you’re experiencing on your QNAP TS-464 NAS with the QNAP QM2-2P10G1TB expansion card and 2x 4TB WD Red SN700 NVMe SSDs might be lower than expected due to a number of factors, including:

      RAID Configuration: The performance of a RAID array is affected by the type of RAID configuration you use. RAID-1, for example, requires twice the write operations as a single disk, reducing write performance.

      Network Latency: If you’re accessing the NAS over a network, network latency can also impact performance. Network congestion, distance between devices, and the quality of the network infrastructure can all affect the overall performance of your NAS.

      Data Transfer Size: The size of the data you’re transferring can also impact performance. Larger data transfers tend to be faster, while smaller transfers tend to be slower.

      Other Load on the NAS: Other activities on the NAS can affect performance. If the NAS is running other tasks, such as serving up files to multiple clients or running backups, these tasks can reduce the overall performance of the NAS.

      It’s possible that some of these factors are contributing to the slow write speeds you’re experiencing. You might consider trying to improve performance by tuning the network settings, optimizing the RAID configuration, and monitoring the NAS to identify any other potential bottlenecks. You can also consult the QNAP support resources for additional guidance and advice.
