Performance/Admin Page Access - Does available disk space affect access to the ReadyNas

Hi Guys,


Thanks for all the help.  StephenB, as soon as you made the comment about the posted speed on a gigabit network, I quickly remembered that I ran this test from a workstation connected to a 10/100 to the NAS.  I ran the test on one of the servers and got a similar speed.  I checked the connection points on between the switches and I realized that my fiber link is running at 100 full instead of the 1000 full that it is supposed to be running.  I'm not sure why this is the case.  The both ends of the connection were set to auto negotiate, however they still performed at 100 full.  I disabled autonegotiate and changed them to 1000 full manually.  I ran the NAStest and got this:

It's a slight improvement, but I thought I would be getting a lot higher.

Can you please run it on your end so I can get an idea of what you are getting if you are on gigabit?

The entire network isn't gigabit, however it is on between servers and the links between the switches. Or I thought it was until I just corrected the one link.  I have another link to a different switch via fiber that has no issues auto negotiating to 1000 full.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the info.
