FileStream is a good indicator of how hard a single client can push an NFS connection with a limited number of threads. It shows what is possible and how large of a delta exists between TCP and RDMA storage performance.
However, FileStream is a storage load generator and has little to no impact on workstation performance. Presumably, in the real world, video is being displayed and processed in some form or another. With demanding media such as 60 frames per second 4K or 24 frames per second 8K, the workstation’s ability to both read data from the storage and do something with it needs to be factored into the equation.
