ReadyNAS NV+ Seems really slow
I just bought a ReadyNAS NV+ 2x750 and am trying to transfer all of my data from a raid array to it so I can retire my old server. First I tried to use EMC to get all the files over to the NAS, but...
Hi,
I experience exactly the same file copy problems as fmahannah ....
Brand new Vista Home Premium laptop upgraded to Ultimate with SP1, all tweaks mentionned in this forum tried....
Example: A folder with 97 .jpg pictures (folder is 257 Mbyte) will get over @ 1,06 MByte/sek with Vista standard explorer. It takes approx 3 minutes to get them over
Installed TeraCopy as one member suggested, same folder takes 12 seks to copy onto the NV+. This looks fine t the first glance, 12 seconds for 97 picturefiles is not that bad, corresponds to about 20 MByte/sec write speed. Now, trying to copy 18000 smaller files (basically midifiles but in another format), totally 500 Mbyte all together, Vista explorer starts out @ about 9 MBytes/sec but after some 200 files, speed is reducing significantly. After 2000 files copied, speed is avg 400 KByte/sec and Vista tells me it's around 15 min's left. After 15 mins' Vista tells me its 25 Mins left.....
Using TeraCopy on the same folder, copies over in 23 mins. This folder copied over in less than 3 minutes on my XP based old laptop with 100 Mbits network.
New laptop is Gigabit network card ( I'm not using wireless at all, turned off) , latest drivers from Marvell.
MTU = 1492, Jumbo is disabled. (even with Jumbo enabled, the same behaviour)
I tried direct connection between laptop and ReadyNas NV+, basically same results.
ReadyNAS NV+ 4x1TB drives (upgraded yesterday from 4 x 500 GB), expansion just finished. There should be no or very little defragmentation on the drives now. Latest firmware 4.1.4, 256 MB ram. Journalling disabled etc....
Although, I know, this is a ReadyNas Forum my feeling of the slow performance desribed here and elswhere is probably a problem in Vista itself, but with the gigant knowledge avalable in this and other forums, there must be a solution or workaround that, at least give the same performance as was present in Win XP. Sometimes this problem makes me think of installing XP on the brand new laptop, but then I miss all the preinstalled, very nice programs that I need.....I don't want to go dual boot, the only option I have is to install XP after Vista and this failed the two times I'v tried.
I'v read most/all topics around network performance issues on this forum but it seems all ideas, solutions, tricks, tips will not help me out.
