Readynas 104, Avast AV, Malewarebytes. Yikes!
I have 4 drives in a Raid 5 config. I have been encountering very slow speeds with smaller files. So, I conducted a test using a directory of 164 small files totalling about 200KB [sic]. The tes...
5400RPM is definitely slower for access. Though a brand new WD Red 5400RPM might be faster than a 10 yo 7200RPM disk.
If you have room for a cheap SSD, you could try that too. But keep in mind that the RN104 has the weakest CPU among NETGEAR ReadyNAS products.

Thanks. I'm really kind of amazed. I wasn't expecting a fast NAS but I thought for single person use it would be sufficient. And it might be but AV and much worse Malwarebytes and AV really puts a nail in its coffin.
BTW, do you know anything about the "and also" question in my post:
One more interesting item:
When I do a Properties on the copied directory on the SSD vs the NAS, they both report 200K for the files but the SSD rports 420KB actually occupied on disk while the NAS reports 10.2MB! That's seems a bit much of a disparity. These files are about 1K actual each which for the NAS comes out to be each 1K file taking about 64K (well, 62K) of disk space.

I'm not sure, I don't think it's due to chunk size. It could be due to imprecise counting (round up).
You could check directly on BTRFS (in your case, you probably want to use --kbytes flag):

Samba "fudges" some of the information it reports - that might also account for the difference.
