NASLite Network Attached Storage

What is the impact of the amount of memory you put into your NASlite box?

Minimun is 64 MB as far as I can see but is it any good to add more memory? If yes, how much?

TIA

Adding more memory will give you more buffers which may improve your write speeds. (read speeds limited by disk drive speed)

On my old, slow 200MHz box with a modern 250GB drive and Gigabit ethernet I upgraded from 64MB to 128MB. I saw a very small improvement in speeds using diskwriggler. This tells me my transfer speeds are limited by my hardware and not by having to few buffers. On your hardware it may or may not make a difference.

What this means is NASLite uses the buffers very efficently and adding more doesn't do much. (at least in my case it didn't)

If you do the math and assume you're transfering data at 10MB/sec it will take 6 seconds to fill up a 64MB buffer.
