Readynas 104 Win 7 performance issue
just as an experiment I ran a Windows 10 Virtual machine from within my main Win7 machine. Using Helios Lan Test I got a consistent 24MB/s both ways to the NAS. The virtual machine was working hard on another task at the time so I didn't expect to get high transfer rates. However the significant points are:
Read/Write are the same.
Much higher than the 6-9 MB/s write/30+ Read I'm getting from the Windows 7 machine that is running it.
It rules out NIC problems or LAN connectivity problems on my main Win7 machine.
I tried using SMB Plus to change the SMB version on the NAS (yes, I did reset the client each time) but it made no change.
I tried running lan test from a Mac (connecting first via SMB and then via AFP). I got 20MB/s Write, 29 Read.
It would point to being a specific issue between Windows 7 and 6.4.0+

As another experiment, I booted up a virtual machine copy of XP. Got 24Mb/s both ways from a virtual machine running on Win7. That same Win7 machine reports 5.5 write, 29 read.
So at the moment the ONLY OS that has a problem with writing to the NAS after 6.4 is Windows 7.Mac OS, XP, Win8, Win10 regardless of hardware and even running as virtual machines all have no problems.
Interesting.

Yes. I think it points to something specific on the Win7 system (since my Win7 system doesn't see that slowdown with my RN102). Do you have internet security software or AntiVirus running on the PC?
Though 25 Mb/s is still slow (post factory reset I am seeing ~75 MB/s).
