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....
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.

You should be getting speeds in the 100 MB/s range - and you are sometimes, but then you see the big drops (for example the 10 MB/sec test above). Was anyone else accessing the NAS when you ran the speed test?
Also,
What firmware are you running?
What apps/services do you have installed?
Gotcha. No one else was on at the time. Currently, my computer is the only one mapped to the NAS while i am figuring out all the quirks.
I don't have any apps and my firmware is up to date. I took a screen shot of the admin panel.
