Average Response Time
The average response time is the average amount of time a storage device takes to receive a data request, find the data, access it, and return the requested result(s). It depends on various factors, including network bandwidth, the number and type of data requests, the type and technical characteristics of the storage device, and the number of users that perform these data requests. For the results below, we assume that the NAS is accessed by a single user only. Check the "Performance Summary with Multiple Clients" page for multi-client responce-time results.
Throughput
The following graph shows the NAS server's overall throughput in all tests we conducted using the DiskSpd tool in an OLAP scenario with QD4.
Some comparison graphs follow:
The NAS produced high overall transfer speeds in everything except RAID 6, where we expected it to crack 100 MB/s.
IOPs
This next graph shows the IOPs we recorded in all the tests we conducted using the DiskSpd tool in an OLTP scenario with QD4.
This graph shows the NAS server's overall performance in the tests we conducted using our custom-made software.
The NAS performed satisfactorily in the tests with our custom-made software, which are based on real-life scenarios. However, its performance could not compare to that of our top performers.
Let's us now compare the performance of the TS-453A to that of other NAS devices.
