I do not seen an improvement of the raw transfer rate from what I reported in this thread:
Slow Network performance with ReadyNASOS 6.4.2 (RC1)
The transfer rate is still 40% slower than what I saw with 6.2.5.

With the latest 6.4.2, my max sustained network transfer rate was 37.0 MB/s or about 30% of network bandwidth. I have now backdated and rebuilt my system to version 6.2.5. My max sustained network transfer rate is now 63.5 MB/s or 53% of network bandwidth of 1Gbps.
So I think this says pretty much that the network transfer rate with the newest version of ReadyNASOS is about 40% less than it was on the last major release. So unless there is a specific fix for this going foward I will not be upgrading until this is fixed.
BTW, I'll have to reconfirm this, but on an earlier test (which I'll need to repeat once another major transfer is complete) this transfer rate was close to what I was getting on a disk to disk copy on my system.
