We have looked at some of the features that ThecusOS 6 brings with N2560 but how does this affect performance? What are typical transfer rates like over a Gigabit network? Is power consumption reasonable? These are all questions that you might be asking and we are here to answer them.

Test System Specifications

First of all, for the purpose of real world testing we bundled together 6 files which were in 2 folders amounting to 3.2GB. We wanted to discover the incoming and outgoing transfer times between the N2560 and the computer - against other devices on a Gigabit network. Here are the results.



Whilst performing these tests load power consumption was monitored. The power consumption was also monitored whilst being in an idle state. The Synology units in the chart have the benefit of falling into a hibernation state which lowers the recorded figures for power usage.
