RN202 extremely slow on small files
Coming from Synology I was hoping for a better OS (I really don't need all the functions Synology offers) and a faster NAS I purchased a ReadyNAS RN202. It did very well in tests, but now I'm trying ...
Did you turn off the antivirus service? There is a performance-crippling issue with it (with both 6.4.1 and 6.4.2) that Netgear is working on.
As I said in my topic it was never turned on. So I have to wait for a next version (or probably reflash to an earlier version?)
Sorry, I missed the AV comment in the first post.
It shouldn't be that slow. Small-file copies are always slower, but it should have completed in well under an hour.
Perhaps benchmark large-file performance with NAStester (http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance)
The NASTester shows the speeds I expect, also for small (1mb is the smallest) files:
