readynas rn102 copy internal from c: to d: slow
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...
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.

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.
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 :-(

Ok, so you are using WD Reds (re-labeled), configured as JBOD, and with volume names C and D.

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)

Iam not sure if this is the right way to test dd on different disks ? Maybe it will always test it on the same disk?
