TESTING METHODOLOGY

   Since some of the NAS servers/devices we have tested in the past are no longer in our possession (naturally) we will keep performing the exact same testing methodology we have in the past for as long as possible in order to provide accurate comparison results. So as always we used a single Seagate Constellation ES.2 3TB SATA III hard disk drive just like with all of the NAS units and performed upload/download tests with a single 10.9GB file. Tests are always performed inside a temperature controlled room (23 degrees Celsius) and are repeated a total of 4 times after which the average numbers (from the 4 peak ones) get recorded into our charts. Finally the network device used is the same Netgear DGN3500 Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem/Router we always use when performing tests on NAS servers.

TEST RESULTS

FILE TRANSFER TEST

A single 10.9GB file was uploaded and downloaded to and from all the NAS units in this test. What's weird is that although in the beginning the TS-119P II managed to surpass the TS-219P II in the end it fell back a bit and so the average dropped beneath 90MB/s.

TEMPERATURES

The 50mm exhaust fan is sufficient for a single drive but the hard plastic drive tray is certainly not helping, not that 30 degrees is much.

POWER CONSUMPTION

With a maximum power draw of 18W at load the TurboNAS TS-119P II is the least hungry one in our database.
