IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We set IOmeter up (as shown above) to test both backup and restore performance on a 100GB partition.

When it comes to our backup and restore test, the W5810 did struggle a bit with the lowest performance coming from when the data was being written back to the NAS when the disks were set up in Parity mode.
