Nas Storage Performance Benchmarks

We'll also look with a file-explorer-copy, Atto and Anvil storage utilities to see what performance is like. Basically we make a network share and measure the storage unit. 

File Copy

The most basic and simple test anyone can perform. We simply drop a compressed MKV file onto the NAS. As you can see, the result is roughly 109 MB/s at the end of the file copy sequence, that's write performance.

Atto Disk Benchmark

One of the finest tools available to measure storage performance is ATTO. I love it to death as it is so reliable and produces such accurate results. The great thing about ATTO is that we can test with predefined block sizes. So we can test with a 32 MB sequence of 4 KB files, yet also 32 MB in 1 MB files. This gives us an excellent scope of overall performance with small and large files.

ATTO reads and writes hover at 100+ MB/sec.

Anvil's Storage Utilities

Anvil's Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that was designed in order to provide you with a simple way to evaluate the read and write performance of your Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive. The benchmark tool helps you monitor and check the response time of your unit as well as view the system information collected using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

You can download this software here and try it out for yourself.

And with Anvil we see 107 MB/sec reads on sequential with 96 MB/sec writes. Excellent performance.
