Hi Guys,
Wow, it's one debacle after another in my house... so, the desktop I am hanging my USB drive off went pop! Turns out after a lot of picking through what could be wrong that one (or more) of the memory modules has decided it doesn't like team sports anymore. Therefore, the desktop is back up with only 1GB of RAM in it! New memory is on it's way...
Yeah, the DSL router is the bottleneck for sure... I could just buy a Gigabit switch which is actually a nice and pretty cheap fix, but I will (in time) replace this router with a DSL router that supports Gigabit ports and also the wireless n standard so that my laptop and tablet can benefit from the speed boost too.
In the meantime, does anyone have an opinion on my other question? The copy back of data once the ReadyNAS is singing on 2TB drives... having this local would be equally slow to read from as it is to write to? Just wondering because I'd love to remove my desktop from the equation.
Thanks
