Poor disk Performance 5MB/s
Hi,
Have 3 2TB disk in my Ultra 4.
Copying files from one share to another i am getting 5MB\s.
I know they are reading \ writing from the same disks, but is this not too slow?

- Yes it is slow. How are you doing the copy? Also, what is your network (ultra connections and the PC if applicable)
- From the laptop from one share to the other..
currently on a 100mb switch, 1gb switch coming in a few days, will that make much of a difference. - a 100 mbit switch is only capable of 11-12 MB\s total. If your connection is half duplex (hopefully not!) then you'd end up with about 5 MB\s throughput (since you are reading and writing). Your antivirus / internet security software can also slow things down. So retesting after you install the new switch is probably the right approach.
BTW, for a local DUO copy you can also do a frontview backup job, eliminating the need to transfer all the data to/from the PC.
