Insanely slow copying 106GB from Mac Mini to NV+
Long-time ReadyNAS+ users, recently started using a Mac Mini. Trying to copy my iPhoto Library to the NAS to free up 100GB of storage space (I've got a lot of photos.) When I initiate a copy of th...
Agreed about the iPhoto issues - That's an Apple problem, not a NetGear one. But the fact that I can't copy files reliably from the SMB share IS a NetGear problem. A NAS is for file storage and retrieval. If it doesn't do that reliably, it's broken.
My ReadyNAS is running the latest released version of the firmware. Lion was in developer hands for months before the release - it's rather inexcusable that NetGear didn't have the compatibility issues worked out the day Lion shipped. (The beta version of the ReadyNAS software has all sorts of dire warnings about data loss, so I'm not comfortable trusting my data to it.)
And I'm not expecting tremendous speed from the NV+. But I am not tolerant of speeds 1/100th of what it used to provide.
For what it's worth, I use drives that are on the HCL. And the fact that later products are "far less picky" demonstrates to me that there is a serious problem with the ReadyNAS NV+, one that has not been fixed.
C'mon, Netgear. Fix the damn thing. Or replace it with something that works.
