Speeding up data transfer?

Could you try to unplug the powerline adapter from the switch ? letting only cat6a cable on gigabit interfaces on it ? It should probably do nothing but I'd like to make sure that the switch doesn't use the weakest internet to set his other ports (never seen this before but...). Couldn't find anything saying that you workstation had gigabit (didn't search for long I agree, still the techsheet didn't mention it...). Are you positive that this is a gigabit interface ? did you install the right driver for it ? Have you done the direct connect test ? you are right, everything passes by the switch the other hardware doesn't really matter, here the only things interesting are the switch, the NAS and the PC.

Thanks Xeltros, yup sure the Lenovo is gigabit & have just been using it straight out the box so assuming the driver is correct, however will double check.

Take it this would be found under device management?

Good idea to unplug the powerline, Iwill try this & let you know if there's any difference :D
