CrystalDiskMark

RAID 1

RAID 0

Single SSD

First up is CrystalDiskMark, as it gives us quick baseline of the performance. As the Lockerstor 2 Gen2+ AS6702T v2 is limited to two drive bays, we tested it in RAID 0 and 1, as well as with an NVMe SSD. Initial performance looks very decent, with Asustor keeping up in most tests with the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro which has a couple of generations newer hardware, more cores and more RAM. Part of the reason for that is of course the added benefit of fully working SMB multichannel, something that was only working sporadically on the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro.

iPerf3

Nothing out of the unusual to report in the iPerf3 test, as the throughput was as expected.

NAS Performance Tester

The NAS performance tester unfortunately shows that something isn't working properly with SMB multichannel, and we're starting to wonder if Microsoft has made some changes in some update that has caused it to misbehave. Admittedly this is the first device from Asustor with dual 5 Gbps Ethernet ports we've tested, but since it worked well in CDM 9, it should work here too, but we're only seeing speeds in excess of the theoretical limit of 5 Gbps Ethernet in one of the SSD caching tests and one SSD test.
