Benchmarks: NASPT Continued
The NAS Performance Toolkit simulates various workloads to measure single-user performance. Office Productivity is a read and write test involving hundreds of small files, File Copy from NAS is a read test that uses a single 4.3GB transfer, while Directory Copy to NAS transfers a folder of 2,833 files using mostly 64KB writes.
Each test has its own demands and the DS414j continues to cope well. Premium Intel-based boxes will understandably maintain an edge in terms of performance, but Synology has managed to deliver a level of speed that should prove more than sufficient in home-user environments.
