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.
Synology's DS115 copes well in every scenario and leads WD's My Cloud by a significant margin. Once again, with no RAID overhead, the single-bay solution is able to outpace many of the RAID 5 configurations at the expense of built-in redundancy. Performance at the £125 price point is very decent.
