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.
Chart-topping numbers are no surprise given the level of hardware being used, and DC500R's positioning as a read-centric solution is highlighted by the Photo Album test, where relative performance is particularly strong.
