ReadyNAS104 Slow transfer speed from Windows PC across network.
Hi,
my 104 has been running fine for years, i swapped out the old 4 x 2TB/5400rpm disks for 4 x 4TB/5400 disks, RAID 10 as before, did a factory reset, resynced (2.5 days !!) and now transfer speeds are 11 MB/s for a large file rather than the old 50-70 MB/s across the GB network.
Same protocols enabled as before (SMB and DLNA).
I changed nothing apart from the disks.
I don't have Bitrot-protection or encryption enabled (as before), what else could cause such a dramtic loss of speed ?
Thanks if you can help 🙂

Is the Ethernet link probably synching to Fast Ethernet (100 Mb/s) only?

What specific disks? If they use SMR, then that would explain poor write performance (and the slow sync time).
Is read performance also affected? Or only write speeds?
