Too slow speeds with Duo V1

Thanks, the reason i used the old pc was to see whether the problem was on the readynas or my other computers. Obviously it could read 30megabyters per second, so it is definitely capable of handling those speeds, but why am I not seing this performance on the Macbook or on the other devices? Im suspecting that it can only be some software configuration that is reducing the speed, but even when everything is set to standard settings it is still the same speed over again.

I am suggesting a systematic approach. If you resolve your write-speed problem on the old PC first, then you will know for sure that your NAS is running properly.

After the write speed issue is sorted, then move on to the newer devices on wired ethernet, and finally to wifi.

To that end, I suggest looking at the jumbo frame settings on the old PC, looking at the SMART+ stats for disk drive issues on the NAS, and the network stats on the NAS for signs of network troubles. Also, if both NIC cards are enabled on the old PC, disconnect the fast ethernet card from the network.

BTW, what disk drives do you have running in the NAS?
