Directory Copy To NAS
In the directory copy to NAS test, a directory tree representing that of a typical commercially available office suite is copied to the NAS to trace the bulk copy of a complex directory. A total of 2833 files making up 247MB are moved but the file sizes vary considerably with an average size of 41.4kB. Due to the varying sizes of the files, only around 50% of the writes are sequential.
Maybe one of these years I’ll find a NAS handy but at the moment I have absolutely no use for them, I guess a lot do though.
Build your own! Actually I am working on a DIY NAS Build Guide, currently on hold for my exams, but yes I think it might appeal to you when I finally finish it. It is about building the most cost efficient NAS possible so yes..right up your street 😉
Best of luck for your exams. I haven’t written exams in years now, I think it’s because of my age. 😉
Cheers dude 🙂 yeh….you lucky old people 😛
Be patient, you’ll eventually get there. 😉
All the points are good BUT .. there is no reliable evidence that the raised temps you quote will lead to any discernable decrease in disc life (possibly over the very long term 8-10 years).
direct playback would be nice but maybe too much of a (software/copyright) can of worms?
