Slow write from usb to readynas duo
So I have a lot of music on this external hard drive that I am putting on my readynas duo so I can stream it via firefly. the transfer rate is really slow at 500kb/sec (I was expecting 2 or 3 MB/s). ...
ext3 is probably the speediest choice for USB format, as it is the native Linux format. Though it is not that easy to access ext from Windows, not sure about Mac.
Are you copying from the NAS to the USB drive through your mac? Or are you using a frontview backup job? Frontview backup is more efficient (otherwise you are copying over the network twice). Also, many users are reporting a significant performance drop with 4.1.8, esp. with AFP. You could try going back to 4.1.7 (or try the 4.1.9 beta).
