Thecus N5550 5-Bay NAS Review
Chris Hadley / 12 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.
With the large number of small file sizes, its no surprise to see the parity arrays falling behind and the lkes of RAID1 and 10 edging in front with JBOD at over 20MB/s
