RN Duo v2 and Windows 10 SMB VERY slow access
Under Win 7 I could delete files from a share at around 80-100 files/sec. Win 8.1 dropped this to around 40-50 files/sec. With Win 10, I get 2 files/sec if I'm lucky! Any ideas?
Thanks for this.
I have a couple of webcams that FTP into the NAS whenever they motion detect and upload still pictures once/sec.
I get a lot of 'false' alerts when its sunny on windy days, due to cloud shadows and tree movement. After a week I can easily have 50,000 pictures from each camera to delete!

Makes sense. PIR sensors do generate a lot of false alarm under those conditions.
It shouldn't be that slow though. Do you have the recycle bin enabled on the NAS? Are you accessing the share with the normal \\nasname\sharename or are you mapping it to a drive letter?
Accessed via \\nasname\sharename and not using Recycle bin (I checked).
The NAS setup has not been changed through all the versions of Win OS have used, so I beleive the issue is related to Windows itself.
Would using a mapped drive letter be faster or slower?
Tried mapping a drive - no change. Turned AV - no change. Still 2 deletes/sec.
I know these NASs have a problem with SMB access, but surely it shouldn't be this slow! Why would Win 10 be so much slower than WIn 7 or 8?
I'm not sure why its slower with Win-10 (I haven't had a chance to try this with my duo).
One thing you could try - move all the stuff you want to get rid of into a temporary "deleteme" folder, and then delete that temp folder. That might be faster.
