Synology® Delivers New Performance Perspective

Synology NAS Series Outperforms Others at SmallNetBuilder.com

Taipei, Taiwan—April 15, 2008—Earlier in March 2008 when Synology® Inc. released its new firmware Synology Disk Station Manager 2.0, it has also unveiled seven themes for 2008, including one that is less feature oriented - "New Performance Perspective." Synology has, with the updated NAS performance charts published by SmallNetBuilder.com, received excellent reviews to support its "New Performance Perspective" initiative.

From SmallNetBuilder.com’s most recent testing results, as of April 15, 2008, the Synology Cube Station CS407 has outstanding small file (64KB to 16MB) RAID5 Write performance using 1,000 Mbps, 4K jumbo frame settings, with an average of 160.9MB/s, outperforming all non-X86-based models. Synology’s CS407e is also in the top 3 spots which are above SmallNetBuilder.com’s "*Special* 1000Mbps Ethernet" benchmark: 125.0MB/s.

In the RAID5 Read performance tests, the Synology Cube Station CS407 also tops all non-X86-based NAS systems; it performs at about 41.9MB/s. These results are comparable with the X86-based model that tops the overall ranking. "This is a very significant for us, for the CS407 saves far more power, but has almost the same performance as X86 systems," said Cheen Liao, president of Synology America Corp.

"We believe most users will store files with various sizes on a server, not only large files. Mid-sized to small-sized files will most likely take up a large proportion of the files being stored," quoted Rosiel Lee, product manager of Synology. "It is practical for users to choose NAS systems that not only perform well with large files, but more importantly, small files. This is what the theme, New Performance Perspective, is all about."
