My performance is terrible. Basically what I have at this point is an expensive Time Capsule and I'm not too happy about it.
Navigating the CIFS share through Finder takes a few seconds to simply list the files/folders in various directories, but they do eventually show up.
My initial goal was to store my iTunes on the ReadyNAS. I planned on managing iTunes over my LAN to the ReadyNAS, then using the iTunes server to stream to various devices on my network. iTunes performance is worse than using Finder to navigate as iTunes thinks files are missing due to the slowness. I'm open to suggestions but don't really want to throw a bunch more money at the problem if I am going to see marginal results.
