Improve Performance
This section describes options let you improve your ReadyNAS system’s performance, if you 
are willing to accept some limitations or risk losing data. Following are some other options 
that improve performance: 
•     
•     
If your ReadyNAS system does not contain any files that are accessed by multiple users 
60.
To improve performance:
1. 
From the FrontView main menu, select System > Performance.
2. 
Set any of the following options:
•     
If you do not mind losing some data in the case of power failure, select Enable disk 
write cache. This option allows the disk to acknowledge disk write requests before 
the data is written out. This can boost to write performance, but carries the slight risk 
that unwritten data in the write cache might be lost as a result of a power failure.
•     
If your ReadyNAS system has UPS protection, select the Disable full data 
journaling. You might lose data if a power failure suddenly occurs. This option 
substantially increases disk write performance.
•     
If you do not mind a long system check after a power failure, select Disable 
journaling. File system journaling allows disk checks of only a few seconds verses 
possibly an hour or longer without journaling. This option improves disk write 
performance slightly.
•     
If Windows NT 4.0 users do not access your ReadyNAS system, you can select 
Optimize for OS X. It provides the best performance in Mac OS X environments 
when connected to a ReadyNAS system through the CIFS file-sharing protocol. It is 
incompatible with Windows NT 4.0 computers.
