Test the real speed of your NAS

[SilverFoX]

   

Hi there,

 

i found an interesting tool to measure the speed of any NAS regardless the manufacturer and model.

 

The tool is developed by Intel and therefor should be seen as trusted!

Intel® NAS Performance Toolkit

http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/NAS_Perf_Toolkit.htm

 

I will post my results of my LS-CH1.0TL-EU which seem to be absolutely dissytisfying within the next days.....

 

regards,

Can you tell me, was this run through a gigabit router with cat 6 cable?  I was having issues with speed as well and I hooked everything up through a gigabit router with cat 6 cable and it seamed to speed up, but I am not sure how much difference it really made.
