Backup from Firewire 800 disk to NAS is slow!?
Hi All, I have RN426, connected to my Mac Pro 5.1. Two days ago I started back up of one of my Firewire 800 disks (WD 2TB). I used Carbon Copy Cloner to back up whole 2TB disk (almost full) to a ...

Yes, that is what you'd expect for gigabit ethernet. However, if you copy a lot of small files, the speed will drop.
Have you compared the drag-drop speed to the mac with your carbon copy cloner?
Then perhaps also compare drag-drop from the NAS to the firewire drive with the drag-drop from the NAS to the mac hard drive.
Oh that sync! That happend weekend before, also took a day and more, but it was first Ironwolf and after that sync second one and then I got some real space to be used. The only thing was that NAS didn't ask for those two to be formated, but start sync immidiatelly. I guess they come preformatted for NAS stations.
I just restarted computer (after two days) and then run Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on that NAS share and got about 99MB/s write and 95 read, that should be good speed? It must be firewire to NAS, as the FW disk has now 58MB/s Write and 42 read!!
I am still wondering if I should connect USB drive directly to NAS to copy it's content, will that be faster then thru Mac?
