Network-attached storage performance<br />
If you’re looking for network-attached storage, I typically recommend<br />
that you buy a dedicated NAS box. The WRT1900ACS has me almost<br />
rethinking my position. It is incredibly fast at reading and writing large<br />
files (I use a 10GB zip file in my benchmark), and it’s very fast when it<br />
comes to handling large collections of files, too (I use a 10GB<br />
collection of files here). I still think a dedicated NAS box—with a<br />
mirrored array for redundancy—is the best approach if you have<br />
serious storage needs. But wow, this new Linksys is fast with storage.<br />
For the record, I use a dedicated SSD in a desktop <strong>PC</strong> hardwired to<br />
the router to transfer files to and from a dedicated USB 3.0 SSD<br />
plugged into the router. Most people will connect a mechanical<br />
drive to the router and therefore see slower performance, but I<br />
wanted to take that bottleneck out of the equation for this<br />
benchmark.<br />
