Thecus N2800 2-Bay NAS Review

In the directory copy to NAS test, a directory tree representing that of a typical commercially available office suite is copied to the NAS to trace the bulk copy of a complex directory. A total of 2833 files making up 247MB are moved but the file sizes vary considerably with an average size of 41.4kB.  Due to the varying sizes of the files, only around 50% of the writes are sequential.

With only 2 drives in the RAID0 array, the performance differences we typically see with the larger arrays is not possible, and so we find yet again another close set of results.
