How do i do a Speed Test?
My ReadyNas 212 is running extremely slow. Last time i just did the update and it solved the problem. But this time there is no update. My Antivirus is off and it has been working very fast recently. What is the best way to run a speed test on the transfer speeds of the NAS?
Thanks
If you have a Windows PC, I suggest using NAStester ( http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance )

These were my speed test results. It seems like an average pf 72 mb/sec is a pretty good speed and yet our system runs so slowly. As an example, it took about 10 minutes to open a small PDF.
