Buffalo TeraStation TS3210DN 2-Bay NAS Review

We tested the TeraStation TS3210DN as it was delivered, with two 1TB WD Red (WD10EFRX 5,400rpm, 64MB cache) drives pre-installed. These were then tested in the two RAID arrays supported by the NAS, RAID 0 and 1.

Software:
Atto Disk Benchmark.
CrystalMark 3.0.3.
IOMeter.
Intel NASPT.

To test real life file/folder performance we use a number of different file/folder combinations to test the read and write performance of the NAS device.  Using the FastCopy utility to get an MB/s and time taken for each transfer, the data is written from and read back to a 240GB SSD.

60GB Steam folder: 29,521 files.
50GB Files folder: 28,523  files.
12GB Movie folder: 24 files – mix of Blu-ray and 4K files.
10GB Photo folder: 621 files – mix of .png, .raw and .jpeg images.
10GB Audio folder: 1,483 files – mix of .mp3 and .flac files.
