I decided to stick with Samba (SMB) shares and Windows 10 for the performance testing, mostly because I have a PC tied into my 10 Gbps network with a DAC sitting in my office, and its easier to run uninterrupted benchmarks on it with nothing else running than it is to do so on my main Mac workstation.Ĭopies to the Pi NAS, with three Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS drives in RAID 5, measured around 95 MB/sec. I'm not sure why it wouldn't just apply it when I click 'OK' or 'Save' in the first place:

After having set up the Lockerstor 4, which uses ADM, a custom Linux distro built on top of Busybox, it felt a little less polished having to do things like manage filesystems and click through 3-5 different screens to set up a new network share in OMV.īut it's definitely manageable, and a one-time task the only real annoyance was the fact that after I clicked 'OK' for a settings change, there would be a bar that appeared at the top of the screen 3-5 seconds later telling me I also had to apply the change for it to take effect.

The UI is straightforward and utilitarian. With that out of the way, and the hardware set up and running, I went to install Open Media Vault, and found the process to be pretty painless I just had to run one command to run their install script for Pi OS: wget -O - | sudo bashĪfter that completed, I used sudo nmap -sn 10.0.100.0/24 | grep pi to find the Pi's new IP address (OMV usually changes the IP as part of its setup process), and then logged into the web management UI in my browser (default credentials admin/ openmediavault):
