TeraStation III iSCSI User Manual 4
For best results, use dedicated Gigabit (1000BASE-T) NICs,
cabling, and routers to connect iSCSI drives. Use of slower
network equipment, or sharing a network with normal
Ethernet traffic, will compromise performance.
Network Structure
Differences between NAS and iSCSI
NAS
Servers and computers directly access shared folders on a
NAS.
• Create and use shared folders easily (no extra server
needed)
• Access files directly using XFS format.
• Features like backup are built-in to the NAS.
iSCSI
A server creates shared folders on the iSCSI drive, and a
computer accesses shared folders on the server.
• Can be used as a local drive from Windows Server and
accessed via the server by client computers.
• All standard Windows features such as Access
Restrictions with Active Directory can be used on iSCSI
drives.
• Database software that requires special formatting
can be used with iSCSI drives.
