We are testing the Synology DS713+ NAS within our gigabit network which is pretty much as good as you will get for a home or small office environment. It is a mixed network with several 1GBit switches for ultimate performance. The DX213 is able to push the same levels of performance through the DS713+ as the native drives inside the DS713+.
All tests are performed ten times to ensure that no abnormalities can creep into the final results. We copy across several files at the same time.
Overall performance is excellent, ranging close to the top of the chart. The fast 2.13ghz dual core processor can handle small data files quickly.
