REALLY slow transfer speeds on ReadyNAS 102 and 104
Hi there! So I have two ReadyNas 104's and a ReadyNas 102 on my network. I don't know what's going on, but I'm getting REALLYYYYY slow speeds. I was just transfering so music and 20GB it taking 40mins+. I know it should be a lot faster than this.
I have checked the connections on all 3 boxes and they're all connected on gigabit ethernet. What can I check to try and solve this?
I have ready several other posts on the same topic but couldn't find anything that applied to me. It's happening on both desktops (ethernet) and laptop (wifi). I have also tried moving files from one of the boxes to a USB 3.0 external drive attached via the USB port and I get the same thing.
All three boxes are running on the latest update. I'm connecting via SMB on Mac's using several different versions of OS X.

Hi BoomertheBlunt, if you like, read through this (my collected experiences with RN104). Kind regards
If your home network uses ipv4 (as almost all do), then you should disable ipv6 in the NAS.
You could also check to see if "strict sync" is enabled on the "advanced" page of the share's SMB settings. If it is enabled, try disabling it.
Have you ever run the maintenance settings on the volume tab (balance and defrag)? How full is the data volume? Do you use smart snapshots on the share?
Generally speaking, transfering lots of small files will take longer than transfering larger ones. You might also want to try benchmarking a single large file transfer (at least 1 GB) using a desktop system and wired ethernet.
