Slow Upload Times
I just completed a very large shoot of a dance recital (~6,000 pics) and am trying to upload them using the option that allows me to load from files already on the NAS. It is taking more than 30 secs...
I am using a NV+ v2 with 2x 2TB drives in RAID 0.
The same problem with a slow upload time photos. Appr. 24sec. for 1.2 mb JPG.
I thought that my router have a problem with upload speed to the nas server, but i test to upload jpgs directly from the NAS server directory media, and it`s take up the same time - 25sec. per file.
It`s quite terrible. I`m photographer and this is life existence to me - to share my albums to my clients. If this take up an hours and time consuming for appr. 300-800 shots...this NAS server is unusable for me. I`d like to return to Netgear.
I`ve read only this topic in internet network and I`m really disapointed with my NAS server.
No suggestions, and community silence the problem.

This is your first post of the problem. This thread is years old, and the OP opened a support ticket. He never followed up with the resolution here (which of course was his choice).
-is this problem new, or have you always had it?
-when did you purchase the NAS? Was it used or new?
-if you upload a jpg to an empty folder, is that quicker? Or the same?
- are you using a Windows PC or a Mac? What protocol are you using to share the files? CIFS/SMB? HTTP? or AFP?
-are you using ReadyNAS Remote?
-what firmware is on the NAS
On the your question:
1/ is this problem new, or have you always had it?
My answer: Yes, the problem is a new, because my purchase is from 20Sept. 2015g.
2/-when did you purchase the NAS? Was it used or new?
http://s3.postimg.org/omqwoayxf/Screen_Shot_2015_09_21_at_08_51_40.jpg
On ebay, as you see the screenshot. The item was absolutely new, wrapped with a sill and absolutely new.
3/ -if you upload a jpg to an empty folder, is that quicker? Or the same?
The speed is great, when upload pictures or files to an empty folder or on the existing folder.
4/ - are you using a Windows PC or a Mac? What protocol are you using to share the files? CIFS/SMB? HTTP? or AFP?
Now I`m using Mac, Yosemite 10.10.4 ver.
Please, see the link: http://s8.postimg.org/te5x93qmt/Screen_Shot_2015_10_06_at_18_48_56.jpg there is full information.
Actually I use CIFS and AFP protocols, but I suggest that the problem is out there. The files /pictures/ located in internal folder on NAS server in folder "pictures". I try to upload it from this place to photos II, and the speed is as a snake.
5/-are you using ReadyNAS Remote?
absolutely - that is the point.
6/-what firmware is on the NAS
5.3.11 - as you see the screenshot.
Thank you for your attention. But the problem is a disaster for me..... I have a 3-5 foto session per week and this is very important to my job.
I do understand that this is business-critical for you.
You didn't say before that this is a performance issue only with the photos II application.
Try registering the NAS and then open a support case. You are entitled to 90 day support after purchase. Not sure if they can resolve it or not (you have an entry level NAS, so its application performance is limited).
Also - just some info you might find useful. Your ReadyNAS is an NV+ v2. The v2 is important - the v1 was a very different platform.
Though you just purchased it new, it has been end-of-life for a couple of years now. The RN104 is the current model in that performance class. Netgear views that as a home NAS product. The RN314 is what they'd recommend for a business.
1/ "You didn't say before that this is a performance issue only with the photos II application. "
Yes, the problem is only with photos II application.
2/ (you have an entry level NAS, so its application performance is limited) - I disagree with you.
Yes - home NAS ok, Bussiness model OK, but entry and advanced is unacceptable description.
It`s no comment speed photo upload to link with a bussiness or home nas model.
if i upload pictures from my smartphone to create nas phopto album ... this will be not a businees model.
Ok, this model is far away from new release line, but currently nv.2 is seling on amazon.com as a new item. Hardware is OK, but big difference between this one and new models is a platform architecture.
i`ll try with 1 GB DDR replace 256 mb DDR nas memory. Now I havent yet 1 gbDDR.
