ReadyNAS Duo v2 network speed
Hello, I have never accessed the community before although I am a longtime ReadyNAS Duo v1 user. The NAS has been a very reliable servant for me, acting as file storage for my home business and also ...
Try uncheck Jumbo Frames checkbox in Ethernet settings of your v2.
Thanks for joining the discussion, RayDee. StephenB may confirm or deny, but I don't believe the Readynas Duo v2 has the ability to change the JumboFrames setting from the Web interface unlike the v1. From what I have read you have to get into the codes to alter it. It doesn't allow alteration of the MTU either which is something else I have researched. Thanks again!
The DuoV2 was clearly designed for a less sophisticated home user, so does not have those settings.
I'm actually wondering if the problem isn't that the drives are only operating at SATA1 speed, which may be related to the odd start-up issue you're seeing. Maybe try plugging in a USB3 device and test speed to it.
FYI, I just fired up my DuoV2 and I get an average read speed of 65.5MB/sec on a 400MB file. That's about half of what a Pro2 gives me, but should be plenty fast enough for streaming HD content.

He was measuring 1-2 MB/s write speeds before he had the boot problem. Even if there were a jumbo frame problem, jumbo frames wouldn't result in that much of a speed drop. I'm not seeing how SATA1 backplane speeds would account for those initial speed tests either.
Though of course the start-up issue is odd, and we don't know the cause. A failing backplane is certainly possible.
Just in case I do something stupid, could I ask an incredibly basic question please? If I remove the new Red drives from the bays of the v2 and insert one of the old Green drives from the v1 should the NAS just start and read the drive as if it wrote to the drive itself? That Green drive also has HD video on it so it would be a good test if I could just swap one over. That Green drive has an equal mirrored drive in the v1. Are the drive holders interchangeable between the v1 and v2 - the v1 has a push button release while the v2 has a push down lever. Might be safer to just unscrew the drive and put it on the v2 holder to try it out, what do you think?
