eSata because network too slow
Hi Everyone i am new to this product.
I have a Ready Nas 4200, i have 4 3tb drives on raid 5.
The problems i am having is getting my 6tb of files from my MacPro 2010 over the network.
I am runing 1000mb network but all i am getting is 40 to 116mb of speeds.
Can i use the esata to transfer files ? And what cable or card for macpro i can use?
(netgear support did not help me)
Thanks

Not from the Mac Pro. You can connect an external disk via esata, but not a computer. Computers can only access the NAS via the network.

Are you confusing megabytes and megabits? ~116 MB/sec is the ceiling for gigabit ethernet.
basically Mbps or like 20 megabytes
i only have in one drive now and i am getting 258Mbps. when i use two drives i get 119Mbps

You mean you destroyed the RAID array and built a new one?
-what firmware is the NAS running?
-was the RAID volume still syncing when you ran your tests?
-what are you using to measure the speed?
