Struggling With Low Speeds < 15MBps Over Gigabit
Hey Guys I have been having a major PITA regarding transfer speeds ever since I purchased my 'ReadyNas Ultra 4 Plus' in May 2011. Originally, I was only getting approx 5-6 MB/second and came to...
Well, I've been a way for a few days, so apologies for no updates.
Using a brand new 15m Belkin STP patch cable (all other devices disconnected), I carried out the Ping tests to the ReadyNAS both direct (with static IP on the PC NIC) and also via the switch (DHCP) the results from the Broadcom NIC were no different to before.
The results were slightly better than last time using the Intel NIC, where the Ping was successful up to a maximum of 1472 as opposed to the previous test carried out using the the 'coupled' cable, where the maximum ping value was 1449 .
Following the above advice, I changed the settings to the following:
Enable disk write cache: Selected/Checked
Disable full data journaling: Selected/Checked
Enable fast USB disk writes: Selected/Checked
Writing was 60-70 MB/sec
I then unselected/unchecked Disable full data journaling and the write speed dropped to:
36 MB/Sec (Jumbo Frames Enabled)
32 MB/Sec (Jumbo Frames Unselected)
So I'm guessing this is about as good as it gets then?
If so, thanks again guys, the advice has been really helpful and hopefully others can squeeze a bit ore out of their ReadyNAS.
