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 a MB/s and time taken for each transfer, the data is written from and read back to a 960GB SSD.

We use the following file/folder types:

• 100GB data file.
• 60GB iso image.
• 50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
• 21GB 8K Movie demos.
• 11GB 4K Raw Movie Clips (8 MP4V files).
• 4.25GB 3D Printer File Folder (mostly .STL).
• 1GB AutoCAD File Folder (.dwg and .dxf).

The XCubeNAS XN5004T didn't have any problems dealing with our real life file transfer tests showing some strong bandwidth figures across the arrays.
