ReadyNAS 4TB Slow Write Performance
Config Info: Network: Router- Netgear WNDR3700 Switch- NA PC Config: Gateway FX4710-UB802A CPU Intel Q9300@2.5GHz RAM- 8GB OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bit Service PAck 2 ...
Installed replacement unit last night.
Ran same drag/drop test. Marginal improvement from 11Mb/sec to about 12.5Mb/sec for write. Improved read rate about the same %.
Still not where I want it to be.
Called Tech support. They suggested that I try to partition out the PC I have been doing all of the testing with to see if it is the ReadyNAs box or outside of it.
Another PC on the network is an older Sony desktop running Windows XP SP3. Network conneciton is 1GB, but cabling is CAT 5e. Also goes through a Fry's GB switch in addition to the router. SAme Norton 360 Viruscan and Firewall.
Results were suprising to say the least. Write speed doubled from baseline (exceeded target speeds), but read speed was cut in half. It is different, but I am not sure what to conclude. That is the problem with running a partition test when a hundred things change at once.
I am going to try to run a drag/drop test between the 2 PCs and see what happens.
Also will try to get a friends Windows 7 laptop and try that.
Up until this last test, I was very methodical about only changing one thing at a time. Changing PCs makes that impossible.
Any other thoughts on how to partition the ReadyNAS box and actually conclude something useful?
