Performance through switches
My setup is Ultra 2 Plus with 2*WD Red 3GB disks --> Connected to a GS608 switch (A) Switch (A) is connected to another GS608 switch (B) Computers are connected to (B). I feel my performance ...
Thanks for the useful replies. The port lights were green, unlike that post you mentioned. I am just using the 2 switches chained from the router. The router is Gb and has only a short cable to switch B, which is upstairs. I then have a 15m cable from B to the downstairs switch A, which is physically next to the NAS.
I connected the NAS directly to B with the 15m cable and all was good, so I then connected the upstairs end to the router and then accessed it through B, so via 2 hops, and all good there too.
So it looked like A was the problem as you suggested. I replaced A with the original upstairs switch, that I had replaced thinking it was the broken one, and now it gives me reasonable speed again.
I took apart A and the two capacitors were slightly bulging, which others had said had caused their problems
