Drobo 5N2 NAS Review

Simon Crisp April 12, 2017 Featured Tech Reviews, NAS, Network, Reviews

IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We set IOmeter up (as shown above) to test both backup and restore performance on a 100GB partition.


The 5N2 dealt fairly easily with our backup/restore test showing a good level of consistency across all the disk sets with the exception of the performance of the mixed SSD drive set in single disk redundancy mode which dropped off in the restore test.

    Why didn’t you do the benchmarks with link aggregation enabled? The 5N2 has 2 gigabit LAN ports. This is one of the main reasons anyone would want to upgrade.
