Readynas Duo v2 poor performance on SMB connection
Hi Everybody,
when I connect to my ReadyNAS trought a SMB connection I always obtain only 10MB/s read and write (it depends on the disk: less space seems to upgrade performance :shock: ). The funny side is that with the same machine (Ubuntu 14.04) and a CIFS connection I obtain 30 MB/s read/write which is still too slow for streaming 1080p movie but acceptable for large file moving... My RAIDiator has been upgrated to 5.3.11 and I experimented this situation with different desktop (Win7/8, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, etc.) and different HDD type. At the beginning I was using small 500GB WD on HCL but now I have upgraded to Seagate NAS 4TB with the same problem, even with slightly better performance (+1MB/s).
The client are connected through a Netgear 8 port Gigabit Switch with cat.6 cable. So network connection should not be an issue.
My new 104, with the same disk, perform much better.
Any help is appreciated.

- So I think I've gotten to the bottom of the slow speed.. although I dont know why.
I replaced the WD Green drive with a new RED, it finished syncing the array. And performance was still rubbish. 25MB/s read speed.
Rebooted, and did a disk scan, performance now 90MB/s!
A few days later and speed is back down to 25MB/s.
Did some searching on the forum, and realised there was a newer minidlna, so I installed that, and halfway through the DLNA-rescan, I realised I don't even use it anymore. I always just browser folders.
So I turned off the Ready-DLNA on the NAS dashboard, and hey presto, my read speed has been full gigabit-saturation ever since!
Every day since turning off the Ready-DLNA I've tested file copying from various shares and its always full speed now. Anyone any idea ? My DLNA version was the older 1.1.2, I installed the newer 1.1.4 but didn't let the re-scan finish before just disabling it.
