Read Speed 3 x Slower than Write!!?
Hi I have recently purchased a ready Nas duo v2 ( 2 x 3tb Seagate barracuda drives - flexraid 0) Im seeing horrific read performance of around 1.5 MB/s where as write speed is around 4.5 MB/s ...
ok. That was a bit of a long shot, since if the data were going through ReadyNAS remote servers, I'd expect 500 kb/sec speeds (e.g, your internet uplink).
So to recap what we know: no firewall, no antivirus/security suite running, no readynas remote, and a significant reduction in wifi downlink speed. The problem is apparently not there when accessing the old netbook, and isn't there when accessing the NAS over fast ethernet.
I am stumped on the cause.
You could try using ftp instead of cifs (enabling it on the NAS and installing filezilla on the laptop). That would give us some information on whether the file protocol matters (linux samba doesn't work exactly the same way as windows file sharing), and potentially provide a workaround. It's easy to try, but likely won't help solve the real problem.
Anyone else have ideas on what to try?
