ReadyNAS Pro 2 Slow write speeds
Hello everyone. I hope someone on here can help me. I'll try to keep this short. I bought my Readynas Pro 2 about 5 years ago. It was the diskless model. I put 2 7200rpm 3TB seagate drives in it. I ...
I am only using one ethernet connection but that is what I have always done. The disks are 51% full. Firmware version RAIDiator 4.2.28. I will try the direct connect when I get home if you think it will be beneficial. If I can read at over 100MBps then I should theoretically be able to write that fast. Right? Right now I have a router and a switch between my computer and the NAS. Everything is hard wired and all ports are gigabit.
Thank you for your help.

Good. That rules out any issues due to nic bonding and volume fragmentation.

Writes are inherently slower - the data needs to be written to both disks. Though the difference should be slight. Smallnetbuilder's performance tests are here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31471-new-to-the-charts-netgear-readynas-pro-2?showall=&start=1

That's useful to know. The direct-connect will let us know if the router, switch, or cabling between them are slowing down the writes (or not).
