9. NAS Performance - 128 MB Comparison
To put these results into perspective, the plots shown in Figures 17 and 18 include data taken with the same IOzone configuration from previous reviews of similar-class drives:

As you can see, the G600 falls in the center of the pack; the Gigabit run only shows a little performance boost, and as expected, the wireless transfers are far slower than wired ones.
