Advice re slow internal transfer speeds on Duo V2
Hi I recently set up my ReadyNAS Duo v2, and ever since I have been getting terrible transfer speeds - not only between my laptop and the NAS, but also even within the NAS itself. Eg, copying a file...
The way to move files on the NAS (within the same volume) is to use the admin credentials and open the volume itself (C). Then you can move files without copying them to the PC and back again (using only one explorer window).
You should also be able to copy folders within the NAS by using Frontview backup. I have an x86 Pro (not a v2) so I can't help on the specific UI steps for your platform. This method would copy the data, but not over your network.
BTW, just to clarify. You say "it's copying it onto the computer before copying them back on to the NAS?" The computer is doing the copying, not the NAS. The NAS is simply responding to the read/write requests from the PCs (Mac or Windows).
