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). In case it matters, I connected the HD via the front USB connection.
Please advise. Thank you in advance.

- Sorry you are confused. The core issue was that transferring files from the USB port on the front of the NAS is 2-3X slower (500mb/sec) than transferring the files connecting the same external drive to my windows 7 computer (~1.5 kb/sec).
Thanks for the information on frontview. Next time I will use that method to transfer data. Merry Xmas!
