fasrroot Menu GIGA NAS DONGLE FIRMWARE SAMSUNG 9/10/2019 NAS vs USB hard drive attached to router; which is faster? - posted in Digital Post Processing Forum: Which is faster for back up for LR photos on import and for Time Machine use? Firmware Upgrade.48 Restart the System. This Gigabit SATA NAS with USB is a high-speed, economical, powerful NAS (Network Attached Storage), using the. Recommend users to connect the power adapter of the external HD to supply efficient power for your external HD. If multi-room audio sounds like a cool idea to you, you’d be right. It is cool: very darn cool. It isn’t, however, cheap. For instance, you can get the (article:Sonos-BU150-Wireless-Digital-Music-System Sonos BU150) bundle for £699. But you’re still going to have to buy some speakers for one room and have an existing stereo system in the other. Meanwhile, the (article:Logitech-Squeezebox-Duet-Network-Music-System Logitech Squeezebox Duet) will set you back £280 before you even start to think about the equipment you’ll need to go with it. These, then, are best suited to discerning technophiles/audiophiles and on the more extreme end of the spectrum one could get a custom install, but this is even less of a reality for normal folk than the Sonos’ and Squeezeboxes of this world. Help is at hand, though, in the shape of all-in-one systems from likes of Philips and today’s contender, Sony. We’re looking at the Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC55PKE Multi-Room package and though not strictly an all-in-one – unlike the (article:Philips-Streamium-WACS7500-Music-System Philips Streamium WACS7500) its speakers are separate – it does include everything you need for a multi-room setup. Indeed, if its £559 asking price may still sound like a lot of money, when you consider you are getting absolutely everything you need to enjoy music in more than one room, a fully featured stereo hi-fi with amplifier and speakers, plus what is effectively an 80GB NAS box, the value is clear for anyone to see. Perhaps it is best we start with exactly what you get in the box, since there is lot stuff in there. At the centre of it all is the Giga Juke Music Server that houses the 80GB HDD (63GB Free), the integrated stereo amplifier and the accompanying speakers. This set can be bought separately as the Giga Juke NAS-S55HDE and would set you back around £400. Naturally enough it comes with all the usual accessories such as a remote control (batteries included), antennas for the integrated FM, AM and DAB radio tuners, speaker ccables as well as speaker pads. In addition there’s a Digital Media Port iPod dock that plugs into the back, a USB Wireless Adapter and extender cable to enable wireless networking. It’s a shame this isn’t integrated, as it is on the (article:Philips-Streamium-WACS7500-Music-System Philips Streamium WACS7500), but it’s likely a symptom of the unit being sold separately as a non-wireless system as well. In this package the Music Server is joined by the Giga Juke Wireless Player NAS-C5E. Like the Music Server it can be purchased separately, this time for around the £200 mark, to add extra rooms to your setup. You also get a remote control with batteries supplied and unlike the Music Server the wireless element is thankfully integrated.

How is that possible? Other people report 'normal' r/w speeds; I've read multiple posts here on the freenas board, but still wonder how to proceed. Samsung drive thread 4K / 512b zdb gives this; (ashift = 12, as opposed to 9, indicating 4K sectors.).

The RAIDZ volume reports only 5.1 TB available space, the same issue this guy faces; I guess a rough estimate would be that 1/N-drivespace 'dissappears' when creating a RAIDZ/RAID5 volume, but this seems a little to much? I know that there is an issue with a batch of Samsung HD204UI 2TB drives, Rev A manufactured last year (2010). Luckily my drives are newer than those, and probably not affected by this issue. My current build is: 4x 2TB Samsung HD204UI 4GB Ram Gigabyte D525 Motherboard (ATOM 1.8GHZ) Any hints/tips/ideas would be very welcome. Thanks for reading a newbie's post.

Thanks for the reply! I will certainly continue to read about ZFS to get a better understaning of it. Thanks for the heads up regarding the Atom processor, but i am under the impression that a congested CPU is not the reason why Writing outperforms Reading on my NAS. I watched the CPU closely (using 'top') while issuing the dd commands. On writing the dd was given as much as 50-60% of the CPU, leaving as little as 20% idle. That seems reasonable since it reports 189MB/sec transferspeed. On reading with dd (output to /dev/zero) dd was only taking up 16% of the CPU, leaving as much as above 80% idle. And then only 100MB/sec output. The GUI CPU graphtool supports this usage measurement also. I still feel the read should perform better than this. Maybe there are other tests i can perform to investigate further? Code: freenas# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nas/ddfile bs=1M count=0+0 records in 10000+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 55.577180 secs (188670241 bytes/sec) freenas# dd if=/mnt/nas/ddfile of=/dev/zero bs=1M count=0+0 records in 10000+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 35.501531 secs (295360782 bytes/sec) Now i have 290MB/Sec read and 188MB/Sec write speeds. For anyone who reads this thread; If you have issues with r/w speeds on your ZFS nas, try (as the above post said) to enter vfs.zfs.prefetchdisable=0 in /boot/loader.conf (i had to add it to my file) If you boot off a usbstick as i do, your rootfs will probably be read-only. To edit the files issue a mount -uw / command (as root) before you try to edit loader.conf.

From what im reading, it seems this firmware bug/issue is only related to disks manufactured before 2011. (and that the newer disks come with the patch installed.) At least so, according to this site; @tropic: Firmware update, didn't think of that! So the dumb question, how can i verify which firmware im running on my disks? I really want to make sure i have the lastest firmware installed before i fill my disks with data. And what the crap is up with the Samsung site? Its impossible to locate any firmware at all. All i could find was lousy manuals and some diagnostic program. Just did an update with the specified file. Protip for any readers; Unetbootin + FreeDos + Patch. In any case, it did not change the version number on any drives, still 1AQ10001 on all four drives. Also, i assume bad english only from the samsung guys, but the update said 'Copying code.OK' and then 'Download OK'. I guess they meant installation ok or something similar. Did not notice any change though in r/w speeds or stability for that matter. Maybe they came prepatched. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for all help! Make sure you use the firmware for your model number. Tropic's link was for the second set of drives listed (end with /JP1 or /JP2) below and you need to load the correct version for your drives. One size does not fit all. Look at the label on the drive and match the model number. An additional note: Samsung was to be incorporating the firmware change in the 2010.12 date production line so you shouldn't have to update if you have that or a later date, however I don't recall where on the Samsung site I read this so your probably safer doing the flash and it gives peace of mind. Too bad Samsung didn't change the firmware number so it could be identified. EDIT: Just to clarify, Samsung did not change the firmware number for the new firmware. For the HD204UI it starts as 1AQ10001 and will end with the same number so if you just look at the firmware number, you cannot tell if it's the updated version or not. @Tropic: Did you use the correct firmware for your drives?

If you disable SMART, later on when they actually get email warnings working for drive failures you would lose the ability to be notified of a SMART related failure. I just had a drive (Hitachi) start to fail and even though the email didn't work, I did see the SMART error which tipped me off. I guess if it helped you, that's great. When I got my drives the first thing I did was upgrade the firmware, and it is pretty stupid they didn't change the revision number. I just thought I'd point out the disadvantage of losing email warnings if there's a SMART failure. (Which doesn't work yet, maybe 8.01 will fix it). My drives are all HD204UI with production dates of 2010.11 and 2010.12 and I applied the F4EG/1AQ10001 firmware within a week of having the drives (once I found out about the update) and have never had a single problem with them. They have been used for FreeNAS 8.x and I used two of them for Windows 7 for a short time and one in a manufactured NAS box for a few months. No problems at all. One thing the OP was interested in was the 4K sectors and I just wanted to point out (didn't see it above) was that this drive uses 512 byte emulation and you cannot get around it. It appears that when you select 4K sectors what you are really doing is aligning on an even boundary (sector 64). This doesn't change the way the drive transfers data, it's still 512 bytes at a time, not 4Kbytes at a a time. This is for the HD204 models. Does it make a big difference, not really. If you're looking for high speed transfer rates then you would be purchasing enterprise level drives. When I contacted Samsung back in January, they currently have no plans to release a firmware update to remove the emulation from these drives.
