DX513 Performance -
To test the performance of the DX513 we used a combination of real world file transfers and also Intel’s NAs performance test software. Between these two items we felt we were going to get the best indication of how well it will perform when you get it back home and installed. We also chose to use the default RAID Synology Hybrid RAID with two spare drives to mimic the best performance and redundancy the DX513 and DS1512+ had to offer.

The numbers here actually look better than we expected them to be. As you have quite a bit of data that has to move from the external box to the head-end over a single eSATA connection we were concerned that we would see performance drop on this second box. The good news is that is simply not the case here. You are going to get some solid performance out of your DX513.

For real world file moves and copies we were again very happy with the performance we saw from the DS1512+ and DX513. We moved a 569GB group of files between the DX513 and a second NAS that we have in the lab. The move times were fantastic. We moved this folder from one NAS to the other in about 2 hours which is an average transfer rate of 80MB/s and that is not bad at all when you think about it.
