The test results show some very favorable results for the N3200XXX. In the RAID 0 test, the N3200XXX bested the other units, although the QNAP TS-509 was a close second. With five drives, you would have expected the TS-509 to come out ahead, so that speaks well of our test unit. In both the RAID 1 and JBOD tests, where the number of drives is the same across all units tested, the N3200XXX does even better, turning in results of over 50MB/s. It's only in the RAID 5 test that the N3200XXX falls behind the other units, closely following the N3200PRO and Synology DS408, while losing out to QNAP TS-509 with its two additional drives. Pretty impressive performance for the N3200XXX. Let's see how it holds up in the NAS Performance Toolkit testing.
