ReadyNAS 102 access from Mac slow
I have a ReadyNAS 102 that is connected to my Cisco gigabit network switch using CAT6 cable. I can access the shares rather quickly from any one of several PC machines on the same switch, but am find...
Firmware 6.7.5
I've been fighting this issue and looking for a solution forever. I was almost ready to throw this thing out until I saw this post. Can you help? Transfer speeds are abysmal at best and it takes forever just to load file names in Finder, never had this problem with PC, just the iMac.
Thanks!
One option is to try 6.8.0-RC1 (beta). It does have some OSX optimizations.
I'm running the beta firmware myself, but don't have any OSX systems.
- Thanks for the suggestion, sounds like the changes made by Netgear to some other users was effective, so I'll wait to see if they respond. If not I'll try the Beta. Thank you!
- I just tried the Beta, no change, can't top about 14MB/s transfer. Hopefully netgear will log in like they did for others and fix this!
Some have seen that turning SMB signing off will improve performance. For instance, https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Slow-ReadyNAS-RN104/m-p/1342850/highlight/true#M134799
Turning off the packet authentication does impact security (as I noted), but personally I'd have no problem doing that on a home network.
- Thanks, that helps, got read speeds up to 70MB/s and write up to as high as 40. I think that's the best I'm going to do! Thanks for the help!
