NV+ Transfer rates
GDay All, I have just installed a RND4000 V3 NV+ onto my network and I'm a little disappointed with the transfer speeds. At best I get an average of 7.2mb/s up and down which is dismal compared to ...
I disabled Flow Control on the Realtek NIC and repeated the read/write tests with the same 2.5GB file. Read speed averaged 20MB/s, Write speed averaged 15MB/s. A big difference. Still not great on the write speed, but certainly a lot closer than when I started.
Then I did a test with 158,000 small files (4.2GB), average write speed was between 2.0MB/s and 4MB/s. I let it transfer for about 1 hour before cancelling. 3GB had transferred by that stage.
Deleting the small files from the NAS took just as long and was just as slow too.
There are no signs of any resyncing and no discernible smart errors on any of the drives. The X-Raid array reports as Redundant. 3055 GB (55%) of 5533 GB used.
Running RAIDiator 4.1.8
I have iTunes Streaming server and ReadyDLNA server with Tivo support enabled. (I don't actually have a Tivo, but thought it wouldn't hurt with my current Probox PVR)
Bonjour and UPnP are running. No additional add-ons installed and no other standard add-ons running.
Original Shares (Backup & Media) were deleted and 2 shares added with CIFS only.
BTW the cable that came with the ReadyNAS is Cat5e. It was marked on the cable but it was hiding amongst all the other specifications on the cable ... lol
