Sequential numbers stacked all tested appliances in tight, but the DS416play was able to come away with 109 MB/s read and 102 MB/s write. Single client results topped 120 MB/s in file copy operations while Playback and Record were equally solid at 83 MB/s and 118 MB/s in RAID 0. The added horsepower not only boosts this device's capability as a media streamer and transcoding box, but also increased the file performance in many cases. The performance was quite good with the 416play, and it positions itself as a solid upgrade over the DS415play from two years ago. The build quality is solid even with a majority of the unit comprised of plastic, and features like tool-less trays only add to this as a package. As it sits now, the DS416play is a solid four-bay entry for those wanting to get into the market at this tier, and its also a solid upgrade path for those on a two-bay solution, especially if you are already in the DSM ecosystem with a DS216 or 216play. ![]() ![]() ![]() Over the next few months, I am going to be revamping and adding more tests and charts to my reviews in hope for better overall comparisons between appliances.
