Transfer FROM external drive usb/esata TO RN102 ?
I'm getting slow transfer speeds to my new rn102 with wd 4tb red. I tried from an internal hd on my desktop and got about 6mb/sec and from an esata drive connected to my desktop and got about 3mb/sec...
You can connect any disk you want to any port you want as long that the disk is in a known format to the NAS.
The tech sheet says EXT3, EXT4, NTFS, FAT32, HFS+ are supported by default.
IS your drive in Exfat or any unlisted format ?
Is your RN102 in 6.1.5 (this version is known to have USB problems) ?
The transfers are really slow, internal drives should be connected at least at 3gbit/s (SATA II), 6gbit/s (SATA III) if you have a recent computer. Normal HDD should be able to read at 100Mbyte/s easily. My RN104 handles 40-50Mbytes/s in write no matter the source. Even with a 100Mbit/s network you should still have 11-12MBytes/s
