The duo you purchased was obsolete when you purchased it - Netgear replaced it in late 2011. It was very competitive in its day, and I still use mine for back up.
Product reviews (e.g. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas- ... l=&start=6 ) and Netgear's published performance tests showed that it's peak read speed was ~30 MB/s.
