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...
The direct connection was much more rapid. I tried two further things:
* setting the NAS MTU to 1492 (which you had suggested if the direct connection did NOT help, but I figured what the heck). It did not help in the slightest. IOMeter results .04, 1.0.
* setting the Windows 7 machine MTU to 1430. This had a dramatic impact - IOMeter results went to 1.6 and 2.0. I don't know whether these are good for a wireless connection, but they're a LOT better than before.
In practical terms, 2 MB jpegs still take 2-3 seconds to load, but they DO load.
Many thanks for the tips. All my files are on my NAS, and I was starting to consider installing XP on the new laptop. Now, hopefully, I won't have to.
