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.
Qnap's TS-453 Pro delivers strong results in each scenario, and given the array of possible configurations, there are ways to further boost performance. These include speed-orientated RAID modes, link aggregation and SSD caching.
