I didn't know if you wanted to know this. I have a UNAS Pro and a Synology DS920+ both have IronWolf Drive rated at 7200 RPM. The UNAS Pro is hooked up to a 10 GB Network and the DS920+ over 1 GB Network with link aggregation.
Now I have a Folder with a bunch of small Random Files, this folder is 3.79 GB in size. The DS920 will transfer it in 2 minutes and 30 seconds with Cache on, & 3 minutes without cache. The UNAS Pro will take over 10 minutes to transfer these files.
I assumed something was wrong with my 10 GB network, Nope it will transfer 4.79 GB in under 10 seconds, and ds920 takes 42 seconds.
I guess UNAS Pro doesn't like a bunch of small files being transferred. All this testing was done over SMB. The Ds920 is faster with NFS like a 1 minute 30 seconds.
