Synology DiskStation DS120j single bay NAS Review – sub £100 NAS !

IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on a hard drive and solid-state drive technology.

Synology’s DiskStation DS120j had no problems dealing with our backup/restore tests. The extra memory installed in the new model shows its advantage when it comes to the write performance when compared to the previous DS119J.
