The NS4300N is at best an average performer as we found copying a 690MB video clip between the appliance and a 3.2GHz Pentium D Windows XP system returned read and write speeds of 16MB/sec and 11.3MB/sec. Surprisingly, FTP speeds were down on this as copying the same file using the FileZilla utility gave average read and write speeds of 10.6MB/sec and 9.2MB/sec.
Promise Technology's new desktop NAS appliance offers a good range of storage features along with some decent backup options. However, performance is below par and the 2TB model on review is a tad pricey when compared to much of the competition at this level.
