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 per picture to upload each file. At this rate it will take FOREVER to get these things ready for hosting. Can someone please help me with what I need to look at or tweak to speed things up?I am using a NV+ v2 with 4 2TB drives in RAID X2.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated before my wife drives me crazy asking when the pictures will be available.Thanks

Are you using WiFi or ethernet?What % full is the NAS?

There is 5.2TB free / 5.4 TBI have tried to hard wire them both through the router as well as my wireless NC connection. There wasn't an improvement in performance. I am thinking it has to do with something on the NAS as all the data is already on the unit?

5.2 TB free or 5.2 TB used?Note there is a drastic slowdown if the v2 is more than 80% full. If you have only .2 TB free, than you are at 97% full.If you are 97% full the "solution" (arguably a work-around) is to archive 1 TB of data temporarily (perhaps to a USB drive) and delete it from the NAS. That should let you finish the project. Then expand the volume, by replacing at least two of them (preferably 3) with 3 TB models. I suggest the WD RED WD30EFRX, be sure to google the forum on the specific drive model before you buy. Don't depend on the HCL alone.BTW, do you have a backup?

5.2TB FREEI just started using this thing a couple of weeks ago.

OK. If you have only used 3% of your capacity, then this performance issue is not related to the amount of data already loaded. That is good news.Is your wired network gigabit or 100 mbit ethernet? Also, note that if you purchased the unit new, you are entitled to 90 day free phone support - so you could try calling Netgear. After that, you can still get free support via support.netgear.com

  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
