Readynas 104 Win 7 performance issue
just as an experiment I ran a Windows 10 Virtual machine from within my main Win7 machine. Using Helios Lan Test I got a consistent 24MB/s both ways to the NAS. The virtual machine was working hard o...

Yes, that's no problem. I'm totally stumped on this one. Just can't see why it's slow from windows 7.
Can you set up a windows share on another PC, and see if there is a similar performance gap between win-7 and the VM?
yes, I can do that. back to you shortly.
OK:
I used a Windows 10 machine to host a shared directory on the same local network. Not a high-end machine, not optimized in anyway as a server, basic windows share.
Results are:
Win7 host machine: Write 33MB/s, Read 32MB/s
XP VM on host machine: Write 30MB/s, Read 29MB/s
Win10 VM on host machine: Write 28MB/s, Read 29MB/s
From apple machine > shared directory: 22MB/s, 22MB/s read

Interesting. So performance is approximately the same for all protocols (and actually lower than I'd expect for all cases). This is with gigabit? What model is the Win-10 machine?
It does say that the issue with on the win7 system is specific to the NAS.

The machine I used to host the shared folder is 8 years old. not the fasted in shape or form. I'm not interested in the overall speed but how symterical the read/writes are. i.e., in this case they are pretty much the same read/write.
Whereas Win7 to NAS is not. 6-9 write, 30-40 read.
