ReadyNAS 314 slow 10mb/s read / write
I just got and installed a RN 314 on my home network and I'm getting really slow read/write speeds. I'm testing with Black Magic Disk Speed Tester and getting about 10mb/s read and write. I'm hoping ...
Solved my problem and figured I'd update it here for posterity.
I went out and picked up a Linksys SE3005 5 port switch and hooked up the computers and NAS to that instead of the router.
I'm now getting ~105 mb/s both ways.
Looks like my router is an old 10/100 mb/s model and it was the bottleneck. It's still plenty fast for internet streaming (for now), but pretty useless as an ethernet switch. For any other noobs out there like me, make sure your router is rated for 100/1000 mb/s.
Also just for anyone wondering, I was able to activate ethernet teaming/bonding with IEEE 80.3ad (Layer 3+4) successfully. I didn't see any improvement on the speed test, but I'm hoping it will serve to futureproof the system for higher loads later if need be.
Hope this helps someone else!
Cheers.

u can have router with 10/100 ports. it is your switch that should be 10/100/1000 for your nases and pcs to plug in
Yeah that's what I mean :)
If you want to avoid buying a switch, make sure your router is 1000mb compatible.
