Slow transfer with RN104
Hi there,
I've been trying to help a friend set up a ReadyNAS 104 and we are experiencing a couple of problems. I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus and the way of setting up the RN104 is quite different/
He has 4 Seagate ST4000DM000 (4TB drives) (http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/docs ... 1212us.pdf ).
The first issue is that I'm having difficulty setting up the X-RAID so that the capacity is around 11TB.
The second issue, and most worrying, is the transfer speed. This appears to be limited to just 100mb/s. This is nothing like what I get with my RN Ultra+ 6.
He has another NAS and is able to achieve good transfer rates with that on his 1Gbit LAN. Currently the two Ethernet ports are paired and this has made no difference to the speed. The drives are formatted using RAID6 & X-RAID. This has left around 7TB available.
We did get it formatted to about 10.5TB, but this was without X-RAID.
I'm busy going through the two manuals for the RN104 (hardware & software). He has 6.2.4 installed.
Any suggestions as to what may be causing these two issues please?

- In any event, 400 mbs (50 MB/s) is what he should be seeing for write times.

I think you were getting much higher speeds with NAStester, correct?
Can you provide more information on how you are measuring the 7 MiBs? (CIFS, AFP, NSF, FTP, or HTTP; file sizes; etc). Also, what OS is on the PC.
