Readynas 104 - Slow transfer speeds
Dear all, I recently lost all my data to corruption of the array of my RN104. I've since then recreated an entirely new NAS based on NASware 4.0 TB drives in RAID5. I have also thoroughly sea...

root@UbRaid:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/MiniNAS/Secured/benchmark.bin conv=fdatasync bs=10M count=200 200+0 records in 200+0 records out 2097152000 bytes (2,1 GB) copied, 45,0369 s, 46,6 MB/s
from my OLD (Ubutun 12.04 LTS) box, with the NAS share mounted in cifs, I get 46MB/s, which is at least 6MB/s more than from my windows PC.
I have been tweaking smbconf according to : https://www.arm-blog.com/samba-finetuning-for-better-transfer-speeds/
and I did gain a few MB/s as well.
I wanna take your word for it that the CPU is the ultimate cap on this, but if someone has managed to build a RN104 with SATA drives going above that, I'm most interested !

I was mistaken about speeds, when I had last done a direct copy/paste it was to a non raid drive on the 104.
presently with all 4 discs in raid 5 I run (using a 7.5gb iso test file) approx 50Mbs on the 104 and 98-112Mbs on the 314
sorry about that
edit:corrected figure
also this is from win 10, server 2008r2, server 2012r2, Mint 18.1 sources.. all systems (sources) are close enough to call it no difference

*MB/s (or MBps), not Mbs
50Mb/s would be very slow ~= 6MB/s
