need recommendation to run benchmark for network attached storage (NAS)

[Cereberus]

Anyone got a recommendation app to run benchmark for a NAS ? cause i do related work, so need the tools to do it.

Any other app than this ?

benchmarks i had in mind mostly transfer rates between NAS and client PC mostly. Download/upload transfers.

Are the NAS your working on using on OS for management.. The reason I am asking this is to see exactly what your trying to get at..

My NAS transfer speeds are limited by two things.. the disk speed, and network card being used.. It has logs and charts in the Admin OS to monitor performance and see its usage... Its on board processor and RAM, TEMPS and so on.. as well as network and transfer speeds.

I never have too much of an issue as it is rated for 50 - 200 users.. nevertheless.. just wondering..

actually i use multiple NAS, mostly SMB models with 6 and 5 bays.

features i'll be testing will be virtualization.... as well as snapshot/remote saving of these snapshots as well to a secondary NAS.

and most importantly performance for transfer speeds read/write over the network between

PC client > router > NAS

NAS > router > NAS

other additional tests, streaming media. i don't have 4k netflix, so i mostly got 1080p stuff, but i doubt that will be hardly an issue, cause i don't see stutter via samba when streaming on MPC-HC on client pc.

for mobile device streaming like smartphone and tablet, the bottleneck is mostly the mobile devices themselves as well as router wifi, rather than the actual NAS. only thing can test on NAS then is transcoding capabilities :x

oh and the new NAS is also capable of ssd caching. i may test that as well.
