Endurance: Flash-memory cells can be written to only so many times before wearing out.A portable SSD should also be sturdily built and not feel creaky or hollow. Since portable SSDs lack moving parts, they are less susceptible than mechanical drives to total failure when dropped, jostled, or subjected to changes in temperature or vibration. Reliability and toughness: A portable SSD must keep your data safe.Notes: Have the following items in the My Cloud S98user-start file to deal with sleep issues: /etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stopĬp /DataVolume/shares/xxxx/WD My Cloud/OS Backup Files/contentdir /etc/contentdirĬp /DataVolume/shares/xxxx/WD My Cloud/OS Backup Files/twonkyserver.ini /CacheVolume/twonkymedia/twonkyserver.

Some stats from a Gen 1 My Cloud with a replaced hard drive.Ĭonnection: 1GB Ethernet to Arris NVG589 router. Have you tried connecting directly to WDM圜loud from your PC/laptop, i.e without going through any intermediaries? What are the performance results?įor those interested in my own stats, please refer to here: Have you tried different Ethernet cables? What about routers or switches? What are the read/write speeds for each test and what is the size of the file being transferred? Using SMB? FTP (did you test it internally? Or did you test it via DDNS from an external network?), Remote Access or any other methods? Is Content Scanning idle during your tests? Does your M圜loud constantly overheat? Does it go to sleep correctly? caching/content scanning disabled, DLNA/Twonky disabled, Netalk or iPV6 disabled, etc Ethernet cable type (Cat5e or Cat6, etc)Īny tweaks applied? E.g.Router Model (please clarify if you’re using a gigabit connection or not).I thought it’ll be a good idea if we can compile all the various results from different users into one post. I’ve also found a few posts on this forum regarding performance results, but it’s all over the place. I found it to be quite useful as this gives me something to compare my WDM圜loud against. I’ve found many articles online, showing performance results from e.g.
#CRYSTAL DISKMARK MAC EQUAVALENT UPGRADE#
I’ve been having performance issues on my WDM圜loud lately, due to my recent upgrade to the latest firmware.
