Benchmarks: NAS Performance Toolkit
Intel's NAS Performance Toolkit simulates various workloads to gauge theoretical performance. Content Creation is primarily a test of random writes, Office Productivity is a read and write test involving hundreds of small files, Directory Copy from NAS is a read test that uses 2,833 files, while Photo Album is a largely sequential test of mixed-sized reads.
The results reveal the TS-228A to be a capable performer, and this is reflected in real-world use. The web-based interface feels snappy, we had no issues streaming high-definition video content to an Xbox One games console, and performance ultimately conforms to our expectations of an affordable home-user NAS.
