Hi wazhappenindude,

I haven't tried using BT Sync client, but I would recommend you to create a backup job that copies your PC files (folder or volume) to one of the shares in your ReadyNAS system. I hope you could have a quick try and see if the transfer speed will be much faster than the 5-6mbps speed that you are currently getting from the 3rd party backup software that you're using.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Hello,

When I copy files directly to the ReadyNAS, the transfer speed is between 30-40 MB/s.

Thanks,

  I've measured about 50 MB/s write speed with NasTester (http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance). The PC performance can play into this, but also RN102 apps. Do you have antivirus turned on?
  
  I haven't played with bt sync, so I have no specific advice there. Other than the obvious - the RN102 is the entry level NAS, and the CPU gets loaded down very quickly.
