ReadyNas 1100 5MB/s transfer speed

Hi! I've recentley inherited a readynas 1100. I reset everything to factory defaults and installed 2 x 2TB WD Green drives. The disks are in RAID 1. I went through the wizard and pretty much...

That would be the MTU size? Try resetting back to 1500 and see if there is any change.

Also, what file sharing protocol are you using?

I reset everything to factory defaults

What firmware is it running?

  It looks like you are connected at 100 mb/s. Please check the network tab to make sure that you are connected at Gb/s
  
  I am assuming that you are on OS6 vs OS4
  
  Good Luck

    I don't see what you are basing that conclusion on. Expected performance with 100 mbit ehternet would be about 10 MB/s, not 5-6.
    
    But the network link speed should be checked. If it is 100 mbit, the MTU should certainly be 1500.

    No, the 1100 is an old sparc v1 product - it should be running 4.1.x firmware.
    
    BTW drive size is limited to 2 TB.
