Thanks StephenB, I agree， to make a network Child-proof is a lift time project.... 8)
back to the topic, I did a copy test: (via wireless but I didn't move the laptop around while test)
for 1GB single file, it took 168 sec copy to my desktop from NAS shared folder, but took 172 sec if from non-shared folder. I can see delay in the first few seconds in non-shared folder.
for 1040MB (233 files) file folder, it took 190 sec from Shared folder, took 262 sec from non-shared folder!! When I use NX viewer to open them in different location, the thumbnail opening speed has big difference, non-shared folder is 3 times slower.....
Read-only folder is not practical for me, as I need to edit them all the time, I do have backup in different physical location, I understand NAS is never a place to store priceless data.
