We are testing the Synology RS212 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. This review was delayed a little as one of our gigabit switches failed recently and we had to wait on a replacement.

All tests are performed ten times to ensure that no abnormalities can creep into the final results.

Performance is strong, averaging 95 MB/s read and 47 MB/s read in these particular tests.

Performance with mixed files is slightly lower than the DS211j, averaging 62 MB/s read and 35 MB/s write. Still, very good results for these specific tests.
