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-453mini and TS-453 Pro are once again hard to tell apart. Benchmark variance allows the two to trade places in certain tests, but whichever way you look at it, the combination of a quad-core Intel processor and 8GB of memory delivers solid performance in all scenarios.
