ReadyNAS 516 and OS 6.5.0 slow to the point of unusable
this issue surfaced for me with OS 6.4. The workaround then was to turn off Virus checking and ultimately a firmware update. Now, with 6.5.0 the issue has returned. I am getting transfer rates of 3...
I have a 316 NAS unit, and the 6.5.0 upgrade hammered it. I have it as the primary file server for folks in a small office. Small tho it may be, access to files is critical. Business critical. If you are still having these issues, have you tried disabling the 'ReadyCLOUD' service? If not give that as shot. I've gone through a week of this erratic connectivity to shares and slow transfer speeds and seem to have found relief/resolution when I turned off 'ReadyCLOUD' and 'ReadyNAS Replicate'.
Because things started working 'normally', I have not tinkered with anything else. The folks on the network need to access their files on the shares so when the NAS started to behave, I just stopped poking sharp sticks at it, but I think I maybe didnt need to disable the 'Replicate' service, but I'll experiment with that later, perhaps over the weekend when nobody is about.
try turning off 'ReadyCLOUD', see what that does.
- I, too, am having very slow read and write speeds through explorer. I am have already updated to Readynas 6.5.0. I am getting KB/s after the update but before I was getting up to 15MB/s. I haven't changed any configurations yet, just the firmware. Is there anything that I need to tweak?
Do you have ipv6 enabled in the NAS? If so, try disabling it.
- I tried disabling the IPv6 and it didn't transfer any files at all. I just noticed that the slow transfer speed is particularly related to transferring (moving and copying) files from one folder to another inside the NAS. Sometimes, a transfer would just stall at one point and continue after a few minutes. It does not matter if it's a 9MB or a 150MB file. Sometimes the 9MB one would stall and prolong the transfer significantly.
