Thecus N4200 Pro 4-Bay NAS Review
Chris Hadley / 13 years ago
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.
As we know, RAID 0 and small file sizes go hand in hand for the best write performance, but across the remainder of the arrays, the speed variation was negligible, varying by only 1.7MB/s.
