The AS6204T 4-bay NAS from ASUSTOR, equipped with a low-power Celeron J3160 Braswell CPU and 4GB of RAM can handle without issue the well-optimized ADM OS which transforms it into a machine with multiple functions: backups, different service hosting, virtual machine installation and operation, media center for online and offline content, gaming computer thanks to the included emulators and more.
CPU : Intel I5 4690K Retail
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard : BIOSTAR GAMING Z97X
RAM : GeIL EVO CORSA 16GB 2400MHz C11
(2GB Exceleram DDR1333 for NASPT compatibility)
Video : HIS 280X
Power Supply : Cooler Master 850W
SSD : OCZ Vertex 4 256GB
Case: Cooler Master ATCS840
To test the NAS performances, the AS6204T NAS was populated with one OCZ Vertex 4 SSD along with one KingFast SLC E-Drive in RAID 0, formatted with a single volume and the NAS was connected directly to the computer, to avoid any limitations by implying additional hardware like a router. The first simple test was performed by loading the test file onto a RAM drive and then it was copied to the NAS, on its shared folder. The speed was recorded with Total Commander:
The second test was to copy the same file back to the computer; for eliminating any HDD speed limitations, the file was copied back to the RAM drive:
For performing a more advanced test, the Intel NAS Performance Toolkit was used, for performing 5 different test runs. Here are the results:
As extras, we have also included ATTO Disk Benchmark and Anvil:
