USB speeds on the NAS are not great, generally it works better if you attach the USB drive to the PC and copy over the network.
The sparc based duo is pretty slow overall. Over my network I get ~16 MB/sec write speed with mine (for large files). If you have a lot of small files it will go slower. Reads are faster, I get ~24 MB/sec on large file reads.
NasTester is one tool you can use to benchmark your speeds - http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance You need to map a NAS share to a PC drive letter to use it.
What firmware are you running on the NAS?
If you purchased this unit new, you might see if you can exchange it for a current model (for instance the RN102). That would be a lot faster.
