Thecus N2800 2-Bay NAS Review

For content creation, Intel have simulated access to via video creation applications. This is made up of 98 files with 12MB reads and 14MB writes in varying sizes of blocks. The activity is predominantly non-sequential with the majority of access time made up of writing to the drives.  There are quiet periods of read/write activity interrupted with busy periods to present a difficult workload on the drives.

With no parity based arrays to worry about, the performance margins are again quite close, with RAID0 pushing in front at 13.1MB/s
