Upload performance Mac to Readynas dramatic!
Hi,
I Have a Readynas Duo V2, a Macbook Pro (and other Mac hardware), a Netgear WNDR3700 router and a tested wired Gigabitnetwork (Cat6). When I upload a file of 1 GB it doesn't get any higher than 4 - 6 Mb/s upload speed!! From Readynas to MBpro it reaches 41 MB/s.
How is this possible? How can I increase my upload speed??
I use AFP not CIFS.

- What firmware are you running?
Also, if you purchased your NAS around your forum join date, you have a duo v1. Check here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/ - Your totally right, I have a v1. The firmware I have running is 4.1.12.
- BTW, please don't double-post. I deleted the duplicate.
In Frontview, go to the system->performance menu.
Try enabling the write cache, disabling journaling, and enabling fast CIFS writes.
Does that change the write performance? - First I want to say sorry for the double post. I didn't know I had done this until I noticed the double post. Thanks for deleting 1!
Do I have to disable full data journaling aswell?
The performance just went up a little. The funny thing I have notices is that uploading over wifi is faster as over cable. Of Wifi i gets around 10 - 11MB/s - Disabling journaling should also disable full data journaling.
Do you have jumbo frames enabled? If so, try turning them off. The WNDR3700 doesn't support them. - Indeed both were disabled.
Jumbo frames was enabled... I turned this off and..... upload is 30MB/s!!!!!!Download is 40+MB/s!!!!!
Yes thats more like it!!!!
Thanks for your help!!!
Do you have any other good tips considering the performance?
Gr.
Bob - Do you have a UPS connected to the NAS? If you have the "Disable Journaling" option checked you should have a UPS connected.
- You are pretty much at the highest performance level you can reach with the duo v1.
If you don't have a UPS, I suggest that you get one. You can lose your data if you have an unexpected power loss, especially if journaling is disabled.
You should get one with a USB cable, so the NAS can monitor it - then the NAS will shutdown before the battery drains completely.
