HORRENDOUSLY bad network performance with ReadyNAS NV+
Yes, I've read the "How to optimize the ReadyNAS performance" guide, yet I really don't think it applies to this case. Something is seriously wrong. The best I can get out of this thing is 1.3MB/s. ...
Please do not post your serial number.
1.3 MB/s sounds about right over wireless G if a fair distance away from the router (see ReadyNAS Performance Expectations) or if transferring smaller files. What router do you have?
One would think the 11 MB/s you mention is perhaps overstating things a little unless you're using 5Ghz spectrum and perhaps wide channels as well. Is 11 MB/s between your Macs transferring small files or large files.
Is the speed different writing to the NAS vs reading from the NAS?
There have been performance issues found with 4.1.8 and 4.1.7 should be better however as the wireless is the bottleneck, you'd likely only notice a difference over ethernet.
It looks like your unit is an older NV+ v1 unit. If you download your logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs) and extract the zip contents, and look in volume.log, what is the block size?
