The ioSafe 216 supplied to us for review came with a pair of 1TB WD Red (WD10EFRX, 5,400rpm, 64MB cache) drives pre-installed, so this is the configuration we tested it with. We set up the drives in the two RAID formats supported by the device; 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 both a MB/s and the 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.
I guess with global warming and me living below sea level this is potentially interesting. But then, for that kind of money I can probably take the risk that my house won’t be flooded by an unexpected tsunami :/
I have a question: how would this unit perform in streaming files, like decoding and watching a movie? would it be able to handle 4K videos as well? what about VR staffs?
