Average Response Time

In short, the average response time is the average amount of time a storage device needs to receive a data request, find the corresponding data, access it, and return the requested results. The result depends on various factors, including network bandwidth, the number and type of data requests, the technical characteristics of the hardware on which the data is stored, and the number of users who perform these data requests. The results below assume that the NAS is accessed by a single user only. However, we are looking to perform multi-user client response-time tests soon, once we finish building our new NAS test system.

Performance Summary - Internal & External Storage

The following graph shows the NAS server's overall performance in all the tests we conducted with our custom-made software.



With normal file transfers, performance was on par with the competition in the category. However, the performance impact with encrypted data was huge. The J1900 CPU this NAS uses lacks support for the AES New Instruction set (Intel® AES NI), so it struggles to cope with encrypted file transfers.

Performance Comparison Graphs

Let us now compare the N5810 Pro's performance to that of other NAS devices.
