ReadyNAS NV+ Seems really slow

It should work in Windows 7. I have tested in both Windows Pro 32-bit & 64-bit versions:

Thanks. I tried again and it worked. The only thing I changed between this and several previous attempts was to change directories to C:\Users

C:\Users>netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

2. Have a look at this document to see what level of performance you should expect: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=363. In your case, the XP machine seems to be performing properly but the Win7 machine seems to be painfully slow, indicating that the issue is not likely a hardware issue with the NAS. In the article linked to above, check the next steps section and try a direct connection to see if it improves. If not, try setting the MTU on the NAS to 1492.

OK. Tried the direct connection, with the following results:
- jpgs that took 5 minutes before opened much quicker. Not exactly instant, but within a couple of seconds. So, much improved.
- I copied a couple of files back and forth. 4 and 18 MB files appeared to copy instantly - no lag at all.
- On the other hand, synchronization of a small mapped network drive was still very slow (I didn't wait for it to finish).
- IOMeter gave results of roughly 24.5 and 14.5 MB/s. (Both tapered down a bit toward the end of the test).
