Slow ReadyNAS RN104
Hi, I have ready many pages on this forum for addressing the slow speeds I have with my ReadyNAS RN104 on my Mac connected to a 1 Gb/s LAN via Cat 6 cable - there are no solutions openly publishe...

OK, I think I've sorted out the speeds via SMB.
I noticed that copying files from the ReadyNAS GUI yielded speeds ~50MBps, whereas drag and drop was ~10-15 MBps.
So a little googling took me to this: https://dpron.com/os-x-10-11-5-slow-smb/
So essentially, all I did was unsign SMB transfers using:
printf "[default]\nsigning_required=no\n" | sudo tee /etc/nsmb.conf >/dev/null
And now I have 50-60 MBps read speeds. and ~40-45 MBs write speeds.
Happy!

Right... resync complete.
Now getting ~17 MBps read. Literlaly everything is disabled that can be.
CPU usage is pretty much 0% when idle.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Jon

Actually, that fix didnt stick, but I think this one does...

I'm glad the speeds are up to where they should be. Hopefully you've considered the security implications.
- jon_russ5Aug 07, 2017Apprentice
Yes, security implications for me are none-existent. So I'm happy with that.
As for the speeds...once I disconnect from the cabled network, speeds remain, but if I restart then they drop back down to 6-10 MBps! Even when I check the nsmb.conf file to check that signing is still disabled (it is).
Still only slightly working...
