Preface
The core prompt: DS216j is not so bad as everyone thinks, the basic operation is not stuck, reading and multimedia performance and DS116, DS216 no significant difference.
Last week started the single-disc DS116, wrote an article out of the box drying materials (DS116 drying connection http://post.smzdm.com/p/500542/), many people under the thread that this price is better to add money Buy double-space DS216j, to be honest I have always wanted to buy DS216j, but DS216j was expensive 200 yuan, and the configuration is lower, then started DS116. But in a few days, a cat-wide DS216j orders minus 200 activities (one East has 1000-200 coupons but Group Hui products collectively out of stock). At this point I was ticklish again, could not help but start DS216j.
Seeing many netizens ask questions, how much difference does DS216j and DS216 have compared to the performance and how different the system operation is? But no one gave the answer. D116's CPU and these two models are the same model, but the main frequency is higher 1.8G, memory is 1G. DS216j and DS216 CPU frequency is 1G and 1.3G respectively, the memory is 512M. I don't have a DS216 on my hands, so I'll take a simple evaluation of the DS216j and the DS116 for your reference.
First, product packaging
There was no stock on the day of order. After this DS216j was issued to the dealer by the manufacturer, the agent immediately forwarded it to me. In addition to the original packaging, the product is additionally covered with a layer of packaging. There is a MADE IN TAIWAN label paper. Is it the Taiwanese manufacturer's freshly baked goods? After opening a front view of a large DS216j original packaging.
Family photo. In addition to the host, there is a power adapter and a black cable, two packs of screws. Due to the reduction of 200 activities, the manufacturers did not present one-year data recovery service.
Second, the product fuselage.
1, first take a photo with DS116. Official data shows that the DS116 measures 166 mm x 71 mm x 224 mm, and the DS216j measures 165 mm x 100 mm x 225.5 mm. Since the DS116 is a single-bay NAS, it is a bit narrower than the DS216J, but the basic idea is to grow and grow.
2, the next is the back of the picture, DS216j is a double disk, taking into account the heat is slightly larger, and the original width of the fuselage, using a 9292mm fan.
Below the fan are two USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit LAN port, and then the power port and keyhole.
3, open the side cover to install the hard disk. The side covers have no screws and both hands hold the lids on both sides of the product and stagger them by force. There is no difference in the internal structure of the DS216j compared to the DS116, but the DS216j is a dual hard disk and it may be considered that the vibration will increase. Therefore, a rubber anti-vibration ring is added to the hard disk screw hole.
One week ago, I purchased the DS116 and 2T red disk. After starting the DS216j, I didn't have the money to consider the red disk. Anyway, there is data protection in the double disk. Let's go to the blue disk. Saying that the quality of the blue disk is still good, home four 1T hard drive, a blue disk with 1W + hours without fault, no bad sectors, that is, a bit high noise, as the NAS in the room a bit noisy. While the other three Seagate 1T hard disks had SMART alarms when the running time was between 6000 and 7000 hours, and then they were already bad at 1W hours. So the blue-disk dare to have a one-year warranty over the Seagate desktop. It's his confidence.
Third, read and write tests.
As a NAS, the first thing to consider is its read/write performance. The official reading and writing data is: Write 104.43MB/S, read as 112.5MB/S. I do not know what speed he tested in hard disk mode. I tested in RAID1 and BASIC modes (Gigabit Wired Network Environment). In theory, RAID1 write speed is slower and read speed is slightly faster. In actual tests, RAID1 writes are actually slower, but read speeds do not differ much.
When the DS216j reads and writes files, the CPU load will be up to 70%, while the DS116's CPU load is 50%. The DS116's clock frequency is 0.8G higher than that of the DS216j, which has certain advantages in performance. In terms of memory, with the basic services installed in the standby state, the DS116 has a 1G memory advantage, the memory occupancy rate is about 15%, and the DS216j has only 512M of memory, and the memory occupancy rate has doubled to about 30%.
In RAID1 mode, the write speed is about 85MB/S.
In BASIC mode, the writing speed is about 95MB/S.
Both hard disk models have similar read speeds and float around 108 MB/s.
Fourth, Video Station test
In addition to the basic file sharing of a NAS, video and audio are secondarily considered by everyone, and Video Station provides us with a good solution. (There is a third-party PLEX in the suite market, but the memory occupancy is as high as 70 after installation. %,deleted).
For video transcoding, DS216j does not support WMV, AVI file transcoding, and MP4 and MKV files are tested normally. When the DS216j transcodes the video, the CPU load instantly reaches 98%, and then it floats around 20%. If the user pulls the progress bar, it will rise to about 50%. While the DS116 is transcoding, the CPU load is only about 85%, and then it floats around 20%.
PS: This load data can not be used as the load of the machine during video transcoding. If the original file code rate, resolution, and format are different, the load conditions will differ when testing. For this comparison test, I used the DS116 and DS216j to transcode the same file. The file is about 60 minutes long and has a size of 2.5GB and a 1080P resolution MP4 file.
Another good news to tell you is that the Google Play app market (requires wall-to-wall access) clearly indicates that the Video Station client software DS Viedo supports Android TV. Other DS clients do not have prompts to support Android TV. The official website of the APP download file list without any support for Android TV, I downloaded the DS Video, DS file, DS finder three software in the official set-top box test, in addition to the DS finder remote control can not operate normally, DS video and DS file can Perfect operation with the remote control, UI is also in line with the TV version of the application layout. (Test set-top box models are customized by Shanghai Unicom BESTV R3300)
V. Email notification function
In the past, when playing black skirts, set the email notification function failed, and never tried again later. This function is very easy to use. In the DS116j, the successful settings take effect, not only can send important messages to the system, but also to new users. When opening an account, sending account information to his email address does not have to tell him verbally or otherwise.
I used the QQ mailbox to bind my domain name, opened a domain name mailbox, and then set up an admin@ domain name email address. When sending a registered email to a new user, the sender showed the system administrator , which was more professional and authoritative. However, there is a problem that the user's access address in the e-mail is the intranet IP address, and he does not know how to change it to an external network domain address.
Do users think that you are NB? Haha.
============= === =====================
Sixth, summary.
1, DS216j configuration is low, but personal basic applications can be perfectly satisfied, there will be no obvious Caton and delay conditions. If there is a need to establish WEB, database and other services should be carefully considered.
2, DS216j price and DS116 are now 1,250 yuan, which in the end choose? Do not entanglement, according to your needs, if you give priority to performance, for data security, scalability is not very important, then DS116 it, otherwise choose DS216j.
3, I believe many valued friends have encountered such a problem: "Dowaload Station enable Thunder offline function, enter the correct account number and password, but the total prompt "Captcha code is currently required to enter the login. Please try again later. " In fact, how do you try again is useless, the method on the Internet basically useless. On this issue, I sent an email to the official, the official e-mail reply to the solution (white group to enjoy the technical support is not bad), I am in the DS216j, The pro-test was resolved on the DS116.A friend in need left an e-mail and I forwarded the solution to you
