Hello,  
I would assume that there is a performance improvement when using Gateway-ST ([GitHub - storj/gateway-st: Single-tenant, S3-compatible server to interact with the Storj network](https://github.com/storj/gateway-st)) or Gateway-MT ([GitHub - storj/edge: Storj edge services (including multi-tenant, S3-compatible server to interact with the Storj network)](https://github.com/storj/gateway-mt))?

Gateway-ST is probably sufficient for your needs and easier to set up.

If you want to make a speedtest I would recomment Storj/Uplink. Its a CLI tool where you can upload / download files.

Be aware that the default settings are not ideal. Please see for a 8 core CPU:

> uplink cp sj:/bucket/bighugefile.zip ~/Downloads/bighugefile.zip --parallelism 8

If you have a more powerful server, you can go even faster.
