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. So my question is... Can I direct connect an external drive that has the majority of the data I want to move to the new nas either through a usb 2.0 port (slow) or preferably through the esata port?
The nas is connected to a 1g port on my router. Not sure if desktop has a 1g port.
I connected the drive directly to the nas through the esata port, but I can't see it at all through the web admin or readynas remote.
Thoughts?

- E-sata can be faster but I believe the CPU is too weak to handle the filesystem driver at higher speeds.
you can send the top command, if you see idle at 0 you'll get your answer. - smallnetbuilder.com measured the esata backup speed (to ntfs) at 35 MB/s.
I suspect they weren't using rsync (which you'd expect to be slower than using cp). Also they didn't measure external drive->NAS speeds, only the reverse. - Ouep, I measured in that order too for another post. But since I got BTRFS to external drive to 18Mbyte/s I believe 20Mbyte/s to internal drives is pretty consistent with that measure.
