The smart update speed means absolutely nothing as it fully depends on the amount of files you have changed on the source and their size.
I really thought the TeraStation would be really faster, I even considered trading my SLUG for one one them. I won't now...  |
Check out Tom's Hardware. He has reviewed a number of Raid5 NAS units, most of which outperform the Terastation. The terastations hideous speed is because of a design boo-boo. They are doing part of RAID-5 in software, so it is writing sequentially rather than in parallel. There are fixes, but the TS firmware does not use them.
