New Synology DSM3.0 Firmware - Performance boost

[Maasbommel]

All,

Today I installed the new Synology  DSM 3.0-1337; Build Date: 2010/09/21 on my Synology NAS (DS 409slim).
DSM 3.0 Release Notes

I was coming from version DSM 2.3-1157

The most important thing: after the upgrade all my data was still there  

Did also some tests regarding performance, because I read some mixed responses regarding that.

For me it brought a huge performance boost on samba filesharing, see the 2 pictures of the test I did with Bench32 before and after the upgrade.

Did some testing with some bitrated Bluray movies that now and then had some stutter with previous DSM 2.3 -> gone!!

Any others here with a Synology NAS that are having the same good experience with this new version?

regards,
Maasbommel

PS. This test is done with lan cable connection .

I have a 110j and still working on 2.3. I want to go to 3.0 soon, because more people have positive results with network performance.

Q:
What is advisable to use with the Mede8er: NFS or Samba.

[Maasbommel]

Samba seems to be running very well with this new 3.0 version Synology firmware.
Even better results then on NFS.

Tested this with the new Mede8er version V4Beta4
