Hi guys,

You know how HD tune nicely measures the transfer rate of disks connected locally to the PC and shows you a graph of it. Is there a way to do the same thing for a NAS storage volume? I'm using synology D1618+ with DSM OS. I searched, but couldn't find a way. If I measure the share drives using AJA system test inside of my PC's, I get bottle-nicked by the 1Gbps network link. My NAS volume consists of 5 8TB WD WD80EFAX drives in RAID 5. So it should deliver speeds more than 1Gbps.
