Slow ReadyNAS RN104
Hi,
I have ready many pages on this forum for addressing the slow speeds I have with my ReadyNAS RN104 on my Mac connected to a 1 Gb/s LAN via Cat 6 cable - there are no solutions openly published, and all solutions appear to be a PM to the OP.
What is the solution for this? I have speeds in the region of 6 mb/s.
Thanks,
Jon
OK, I think I've sorted out the speeds via SMB.
I noticed that copying files from the ReadyNAS GUI yielded speeds ~50MBps, whereas drag and drop was ~10-15 MBps.
So a little googling took me to this: https://dpron.com/os-x-10-11-5-slow-smb/
So essentially, all I did was unsign SMB transfers using:
printf "[default]\nsigning_required=no\n" | sudo tee /etc/nsmb.conf >/dev/null
And now I have 50-60 MBps read speeds. and ~40-45 MBs write speeds.
Happy!
Jon

what firmware are you running? There are some OSX optimizations in 6.8.0 beta (currently at release-candidate 1)
I've just installed RC1 6.8.0 - nothing seems to have improved on the file transfer front.

Hello jon_russ5,
Also, the apps that are running at the same time may affect the performance.
Regards,
I'm not running any apps, ReadyCloud is disabled, and Snapshot is also disabled. Anitvirus is also disabled.
Software version is 6.7.5.
Thanks,
Jon
Have you tried with a large file, like 1GB file, and timed the transfer? Are the RN and Mac connected to the same router or switch? Is the wifi on the Mac disabled?
