Buffalo Linkstation Quad Pro LS-QVL8.0TL/R5 RAID 5 Benchmark

This benchmark is for interested purchasers of this NAS, which I simply cannot find any performance data for. This NAS is rather affordable and the performance is much better than I expected.

The following tests are done with a empty RAID5 array (0% full), 4x Samsung disks pre-built at factory (Buffalo LS-QVL8.0TL/R5), no jumbo frames in used.

Raid 5 performance using NAS tester


Raid 5 performance using Crystal Diskmark


Raid 5 performance using ATTO Disk Benchmark


Raid 5 performance using Intel NAS Performance Toolkit (NASPT)
This will be useful when comparing to the SmallNetBuilder NAS Charts v4++.
