We also tested the drive in a number of workload scenarios that it might face in real life. The IOMeter settings we used to test with are listed below:-

Overall the DC450R performs well when dealing with these scenarios with six of the tests producing over 500MB/s bandwidth with a further six over 400MB/s. The best bandwidth figure was the 563.55MB/s achieved with the Video On Demand test.
