Hello, Iam copying a big amount of data (6TB) from my c: hdd to the d: hdd. First I tried it with Total Commander and mounted therefore the c:/d: als network drivers. I got speeds between 10 mb/s and 15 mb/s. As this is very slow I tried to use midnight commander using ssh to copy the data internal and not over the network to get faster speeds. Suprisingly this is even slower. I got a speed between 7 mb/s and 10 mb/s. So is there a way to copy data fast between the two drives? Thans

What firmware are you running? Are you using gigabit ethernet to connect the PC to the NAS? Or something else (100 mbit ethernet or WiFi?). Your speeds are about what you'd expect with fast ethernet (assuming you mean megabytes per second and not megabits per second). Also, is the USB drive USB 3 or USB 2? What model is it (larger drives are often SMR, which has very slow sustained write times). How is it formated? No idea on Midnight Commander, as that's not an application I use. If the USB drive is connected to the NAS directly, then I'd normally use a backup job in the web ui to copy the data.

Hi,I use 6.10.1 as Firmware and I have Gigabit ethernet. Iam not using any USB drives, both drives are in the NAS and are the same model. They are white labeld WDD 8 TB drives from WD my books. I try to copy data from hdd C: to Hdd D: Midnight commander is a ssh tool like total commander which can be used in the SSH enviroment on the NAS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJY6ig9bIg4 Actuel speed:´http://prntscr.com/pdeiki So I tried now something. I copied a file from a SSD in the network to C: HDD and I got the same speed around 9000 kbytes/s. I copied the same file then to D: HDD and got a speed of 30000 kbytes/s. http://prntscr.com/pdemk3 The only difference between the two HDD`s is that C. is encrypted (ReadyOs) and D: isnt. I Think the encryption, I used AES 512, is causing a 66 % slower copy speed comparing to a none encrypted drive. Well that sucks :-(

I Think the encryption, I used AES 512, is causing a 66 % slower copy speed comparing to a none encrypted drive. Well that sucks :-( The RN102 doesn't have hardware acceleration for AES encryption, so it will be slower. I don't know how much, but 66% is more than I'd expect. You could also try disabling snapshots on the target system (and perhaps also disable volume quota and btrfs checksums). Can you try using dd to test the write speed on both volumes? Here's what I get on my RN102 (using 1 TB Ironwolf drives configured as XRAID) root@RN102:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/test bs=512k count=2048 oflag=direct 2048+0 records in 2048+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 9.78328 s, 110 MB/s root@RN102:~# rm /data/test

Maybe it will always test it on the same disk?

C: is the encrypted HDD and is much slower!
