Game Data

As most people will use their NAS for storing and retrieving data, we've created a set of sequential file copying tests that should help demonstrate how well a NAS handles different types of data. The first dataset is a 96.2 GB game library that is copied as is from an NVMe SSD on the host computer to the NAS. This is then copied back from the NAS to the host PC. Everything is timed and converted to transfer speeds in MB/s. Once again, the TerraMaster F4-424 Max shows its muscle as it beats the Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus in all modes, except the SSD cached RAID 5 read test.

Single Large File

Next up we copied a single 66.9 GB large file to simulate something like a large video file or a compressed backup file being copied to and from the NAS. The results are very similar to the game copy test versus the Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus, except this time around it's the RAID 1 SSD cached test that Ugreen manages to win, but it loses out against TerraMaster in every other scenario.

Photos

The third and final test consists of 10.6 GB of photos across 4,084 files. Here, the F4-424 Max doesn't lose a single test scenario, but the RAID 5 SSD read cache test is a draw. Overall a very strong showing from TerraMaster.
