The
Optimize for OS X
option provides the best performance in Mac OS X environments when
connected to the ReadyNAS via the SMB/CIFS protocol. This option however introduces
compatibility issues with Windows NT 4.0; do not enable this option if this device will be accessed
by Windows NT 4.0 clients.
The
Enable fast CIFS writes
option allows for fast write performance by enabling aggressive
write-back caching over CIFS. Do not enable this option multi-user application environments such
as Quickbooks where synchronized writes are necessary to keep files in sync.
The
Force CIFS filename case-sensitivity
option provides substantial performance improvement
when accessing CIFS shares when many files are being copied; however, before enabling this option,
please understand the ramifications. Windows runs in case-insensitive mode, and one side-effect of
enabling this option is that two filenames with different cases (i.e. ABC and abc) will appear as two
files but opening one may actually open the wrong one. Another effect of this option is that you will
now need to enter the exact case for search strings for the Find option in Explorer (i.e. find on abc
will no longer return file ABC). Also, some Windows applications that assume case-insensitive
operations (i.e. BackupExec) may have problems. Do not enable this option if you will have clients
running Windows NT/95 or earlier accessing the NAS.
The
Enable fast USB disk writes
option speeds up USB write access by accessing the USB device
in asynchronous mode. If you enable this option, do not remove the USB device without properly
unmounting it. Failure to do so can compromise data integrity on the device.

Adding a UPS to the NAS is an easy way to protect against power failures, but as mentioned in the
System Performance
section, a UPS can also safely allow for a more aggressive performance
setting. Simply connect the NAS power cable to the UPS and connect the UPS USB monitoring
cable between the UPS and the NAS
. The UPS will be detected automatically and will show up in
the Status bar. You can move the mouse pointer over the UPS LED icon to display the current
UPS information and battery life.
You will be notified by email whenever the status of the UPS changes, i.e. when a power failure
forces the UPS to be in battery mode or when the battery is low. When the battery is low, the NAS
device will automatically shutdown safely.
Make sure to adjust the optimization settings in the Performance tab if you wish to take advantage
of the available options.

Note that alert notification and automatic system optimization is available only with UPS utilizing a USB monitoring interface.
