Content Creation
For content creation, Intel have simulated access to via video creation applications. This is made up of 98 files with 12 MB reads and 14 MB writes in varying sizes of blocks. The activity is predominantly non-sequential with the majority of access time made up of writing to the drives. There are quiet periods of read/write activity interrupted with busy periods to present a difficult workload on the drives.
This is a really great NAS review guys, in fact I would say that it is probably the best I have read on the net so far, and equally rivals and exceeds the top sites for detail. I will bookmark this site for future reviews, and you have pretty much convinced me to buy this NAS over the TS-453 Pro. 🙂
I must also point out that you say in your “Pro’s” list that this NAS is dual-core, when it is in fact quad-core. This needs correcting.
However you really need to update the pricing for the US, as the ones you link to on Amazon for $1500+ are simply ridiculous and it can be had for less than 600USD. I hope that for ethical reasons you have no personal ties or interest with the sellers charging the outrageous prices that you quoted.
