Benchmarks: NAS Performance Toolkit

Intel's NAS Performance Toolkit simulates various workloads to gauge theoretical performance. Content Creation is primarily a test of random writes, Office Productivity is a read and write test involving hundreds of small files, Directory Copy from NAS is a read test that uses 2,833 files, while Photo Album is a largely sequential test of mixed-sized reads. Performance in each scenario is solid if not spectacular.
