Performance Rating

The following graph shows the total performance rating of the NAS in comparison to other units. The comparison is pretty straightforward: The tested unit is shown as 100% and every other unit's performance is relative to it. Please note that we only measure raw performance in the graph below and not each unit's available features or functionality.

Performance per Dollar

The following graph will be the most interesting to most of your since it shows how much the performance of the NAS you want to buy will set you back. We looked up the current USD price of each NAS on the popular online shop Newegg and used it and all relative performance numbers to calculate the Performance-per-Dollar Index. If Newegg doesn't stock a specific unit, we search for it at other popular online shops (Tigerdirect, Amazon) and, finally, if the unit is not sold in the U.S. we search popular EU shops (e.g. Caseking) and convert its price to dollars.
