USB 2.0 faster than USB 3.0
Good day everyone I own the ReadyNAS 102 with 2x 1TB WD Green harddrives. I want to move some movies (60GB) from the NAS to my external harddrive (2,5" Toshiba Stor.E 1 TB). When I use the USB 2.0 ...
According to the Smallnetbuilder review, you should be seeing about 9 MB/s on the USB 2 slot, and about 12 MB/s on the USB 3 slot with NTFS. (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas- ... 2-reviewed). Slow, but not as slow as you are seeing. But that assumes the NAS backup jobs are used for the copying.
When you use Windows Explorer, then you are copying the files through the PC (over the network to your PC and then back to the RN102). If you are doing that over WiFi, then you will see very low speeds.
If you want to do it from the NAS, then create a backup job from the RN102 web admin interface.
Though the easiest (and fastest way) for you to simply copy the movies is to connect the PC via ethernet and attach the USB drive to the PC, and not the NAS. Then just drag/drop from windows explorer, or use a freeware utility that verifies like Teracopy. That will be much faster than what you are doing now (especially if you have gigabit ethernet).
