I used a
QNAP QGD-1602P since my 10 GbE switch isn't compatible with the 2.5 GbE port of the NAS.
Transfer speeds with multiple clients are decent thanks to the 2.5 GbE port, but IOPS are low.
CPU utilization is high, and the same goes for RAM utilization. CPU utilization is also high in the same set of tests for the
Synology DS420j, which uses the same CPU. Still, RAM utilization is much lower, especially considering it has half the RAM of the AS3304T.
During these intensive tests, maximum power consumption was 15.5 W, and the average power consumption was 12.39 W.
