Slow to copy from hdd connected via USB port to Netgear 214 NAS.
Averaging about 4mbs per second.
New to the world of NAS so need someone to help with what should and shouldn't ne enabled.
Using defalut RAID5 config - no changes done there.
Many Thanks!

Copying via a pc.
This is probably the reason (esp. if the PC is using WiFi).
If you are trying to copy a share, then use a web ui backup job instead.

What firmware is the NAS running?
How is the USB drive formatted? Is the drive USB-2 or USB-3? Is it connected via the front or rear ports? SSD or mechanical?
Also, how are you copying? Through the PC, or via a NAS backup job?
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your response.
Model: Netgear ReadyNAS 214
Firmware: 6.6.0
External HDD Format: NTFS
Connected at the rear port.
Standard mechanical HDD.
I have turned off RSYNC and now it spikes to 8Mbps and drops to 2 or 3 Mbps.
I have SMB, NFS, AFP and DLNA enabled on the folders.
If you can identify the ones I need to have enabled please?
🙂
Thank you.
Seems pc copying over wifi is very slow.
Backup jobs work great!
Copying from Macbook over wifi almost matches backup jobs...strange but I have worked around these limitations.
Thanks again StephenB!!!
