Slow Network Drive HELP!
So i recently purchased the netgear C3700v router specifically for the USB port on the back, I also got a Western Digitial easystore 12TB harddrive. I connected it to my Netgear harddrive via readysh...
Is the USB drive USB 3.0 compliant? IF so, then the USB port on the modem is only USB 2.0 compliant. Thus speeds will be not as good as USB 3.0 which is really fast and performs almost as good as wired LAN networking. USB 2.0 on the modem will be a bottle neck in some cases like streaming video. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/datasheet/en/C3700.pdf

I connected it to my Netgear harddrive via readyshare and mapped the network drive. It connects to it fine and everything but when I try to read or write files to the drive it is sooooooooo slow! Viewing takes about 10 seconds for even the preview to show up when I click on it. Thats not too big of a deal but when I try to save images on it the write speed is so slow its in the KB per second range. Its not even fast enough to hit Megabytes per second. I have read over hundreds of forums to figure out how to speed up this process or even to determine why it is so slow to begin with! There are barely any files on it, as it is new and when I directly plug it into my computer the speeds are great. I am desperate to find out a solution as I need this for my in home business. Someone help me please! Thanks in advance!
