NV+ Slow Read in 4.1.7, 4.1.8 & 4.1.9-T6
Hi All,
I'm pretty sure there is never going to be a solution to this after trawling through hundreds of posts on this issue - but I thought I would ask anyway.
Like many others after I updated my 3x Netgear ReadyNas NV+ units from the 4.1.7 to the 4.1.8 firmware and my transfer rates sharply dropped. They went from:
4.1.7
Read 25MB/s
Write 19MB/s
to
4.1.8
Read 5MB/s
Write 16MB/s
After reading about all the various fixes it seems as though people either reverted back to 4.1.7 or updated to the 4.1.9 beta. I tried both, one on each NAS, the results were:
Reverting to 4.1.7
Read 12MB/s
Write 17MB/s
Updating to 4.1.9-T6
Read 8MB/s
Write 16MB/s
To say the least the results are worrying, these are official updates from a large multinational company with access to state of the art testing facilities. Were these updates not tested? So yes I can revert back to 4.1.7 but I still take a performance hit on what I had before. Obviously the process of reverting does not undo whatever problems the 4.1.8 update introduced. I know RAID systems are not a backup and I could factory default the NV+ and restore from my offsite backup. This is a huge pain though and will take a very long time before I'm back up and running. Has anyone else been in my situation? Experienced similar performance loss? and most importanly found a solution? I can live with a 12MB/s read speed but why should I when I know it is capable of 25MB/s! I just want to get back to where I was before.
Hopefully someone out there can help?

I suggest you start your own thread - I think it will keep things simpler.Tam wrote: I have the same issue,
My uploads to the NV+ are excellent, easily maxes out my 100Mb 11.2MB/s and wireless network (300Mbps) around 13.9MB/s but downloading files from it is terrible...
100Mb ethernet or my Wireless around 4.4MB/s download ... yet changing to upload maxes my wireless out at 13.9Mbps (sure it'll go faster if i went gigabit, but just maxing out 100Mb on a download would be a start!)
