Thecus N5200 NAS Review | Hardware Secrets

Performance: Overlapped I/O

Below you can see the results for the “Overlapped I/O” test using 128 KB blocks, given in KB/s. As explained, the program was configured to use four parallel operations.

Here Thecus N5200 achieved a terrific performance, the same as if you were reading data from a RAID0 or a single drive shared from a regular PC. Its performance was impressively 25% higher than if you were reading data from one of the disks installed on your local PC!

Thecus N5200 achieved a read performance 249% higher than Thecus N3200 and 404% higher than Promise SmartStor NS4300.

On write performance Thecus N5200 only lost to the performance achieved by hard disk drives installed locally. It was 89% faster than a single drive shared on a regular PC, 128% faster than a RAID0 system shared on a regular PC, 153% faster than Promise SmartStor NS4300 and 166% faster than Thecus N3200.
