Benchmarks: NAS Performance Toolkit
The 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.
Considering the gulf in cost and hardware, it's no surprise to see the SSD-based Qnap TBS-453A establishing a healthy performance lead in every scenario.
