Performance

Regardless of what RAID configuration you settle on, it’s clear that performance isn’t going to be an issue, with the drives saturating the network interface in each RAID configuration, so unless you’re using fewer drives or your network limits your read-and-write speeds, the actual performance of the NAS is unlikely ever to be a cause for concern. Read and write speeds were consistent in all RAID configurations, and as you can see in the overall CPU usage, there was barely any load on the CPU during this process.

Of course, RAID configurations can improve read or write performance, but unless you’re running a faster network speed and interface, a pair of HDD can saturate 2.5 GbE, and easily maxed out with NVMe drives, so it’s really about what level of data protection do you desire, and the QNAP TS-462 is well equipped to handle whatever you require here.

Temperatures

CPU and memory load remained low, and while this will increase with more users, for a NAS of this size, the CPU is more than capable of meeting the demands of a small office or a family home. CPU temperatures and drive temperatures remained low throughout the testing, and while you can hear the fan or the drives when they’re under high activity when near the NAS, it’s overall pretty quiet for a NAS of this size.
