Performance halved at a stroke (ReadyNAS Duo, 4.1.8) ...
In a busy few weeks, my little ReadyNAS Duo's performance seems to have halved at a stroke. The problem seems to be a consequence of upgrading to RAIDiator 4.1.8 (release) and performing a full facto...
I'm having the same problem with my non-plus NV but in a predominantly Windows 7/Windows Server environment. I also have a few macs and some Linux VMs. I have 3 Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11 drives in flex RAID5 with another as a hot spare in User security mode. I have a Netgear WNDR4000 router.
In my limited testing the fastest speeds I can get are ~19 MB/s reads and ~12.5 MB/s writes. No changes in Frontview help, including all network options, sharing services, discovery services, time machine, add-ons, etc. Turning on Jumbo frames on the NV and my PC (I normally don't use them) cut the above speeds in half and changing from a DHCP reserved IP to a static IP lowers each by ~2.5 MB/s(?). The NV was factory reset after I installed the final 4.1.8 over 4.1.8-T9. I also reverted to the T9 beta with no change. Haven't tried 4.1.7 yet.
At first I thought it was an auto-negotiation problem but now it seems more like something's broke in the Raidiator driver.
EDIT: mixup on r/w speeds
