All tests were performed on a 2.5 GbE‑capable ASUS RT‑AX86U router using iPerf3 for network throughput, and CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 for storage benchmarks.
With a proper 2.5 GbE network, the NAS411‑1 consistently exceeds the 2.5 Gbps ceiling (≈300 MB/s) thanks to internal caching and RAID‑5 striping. The built‑in Intel Quick Sync makes it a capable media transcoder for a small household or a remote‑work team. 6. Top Use‑Cases & Ideal Workflows | Use‑Case | How the NAS411‑1 Excels | |----------|-------------------------| | Home Media Server | Plex + Emby containers, hardware‑accelerated 4K transcode, 2.5 GbE ensures smooth streaming on multiple devices. | | Personal Cloud (Nextcloud/OwnCloud) | End‑to‑end encryption, WebDAV, and mobile sync; works offline without any third‑party SaaS. | | Small‑Business File Share | Granular ACLs, SMB/CIFS & AFP support, snapshot‑based backups, and compliance‑ready AES‑256 encryption. | | **Docker/K nas411-1
