    QNAP TS-659 vs Synology DS1010+ Benchmarking Oddity

    You should keep in mind, that Reading is always happening physically, so when testing with sequential files there isn't any caching involved. The test will always finish no sooner than when all files are delivered to the PC which is running the benchmark. On Writes instead, it's the other way...

    Three weeks and I still can't decide - please help!!

    Don't worry, I'm not looking at the 710+. I don't like the idea of port multiplying either, as it's more or less like an AWD car that can only power one wheel at a time, and it's also an additional source of potential failure.
