<400Kb/sec transfer over Cat5 :(
hi guys and girls of the NAS community. COMPLETE n00b, first post... ive aquired a ReadyNAS Duo and ive put 2x 500Gb Samsung HD501LJ drives in. configured it as RAID 1 and attempted to transfer aroun...
shutdown nas, pulled disk 2, rebooted... now <500Kb/sec... i think its probably coincidence though... im wondering if it could be the drives... im going to try putting a 160Gb in and i shall report back... EDIT:- same 'fault' with the 160Gb drives
its something that has started since i put the samsungs in... the 160s, that i aquired the NAS with, would happily transfer at around 1.2Mb/sec (ie FLAT OUT on wifi) after i put the 500s in (and formatted them to x-raid by pressing the reset button on the back of the unit) the transfer speed dropped and now *seems* irreversable, evern with the 160s in place. this is not to say it is the drives that have caused the issue BUT as my testing with the lower capacity units didnt resolve this speed issue i dont think its a drive problem i merely think its coincidental that it happened at the time i installed the 500Gb Samsungs.
im pretty sure its not the router as i can transfer between laptop and desktop at 1Mb/sec over wifi.
im beginning to think it maybe a bug/setting with ReadyNAS but having said that i dont know which setting i would change to remedy it :cry:
