You might have tried this already but the simplest way to measure speed is just to copy a large file (say, 500MB or more) between your Mac and the Duo, timing how long it takes.
Divide the file size (in megabytes, MB) by the time it takes to copy (in seconds, s) to get your speed (yes ... in MB/s). Copy the file _from your Mac to the NAS_ to find your write speed ... _from your NAS to the Mac_ to get the read speed. For consistency, use the same file each time you test.
This isn't as accurate or comprehensive as Iometer but it's perfectly fine for most cases.
Thanks,
Justin
