ReadyNAS 314 slow 10mb/s read / write
I just got and installed a RN 314 on my home network and I'm getting really slow read/write speeds. I'm testing with Black Magic Disk Speed Tester and getting about 10mb/s read and write. I'm hoping someone can point out a flaw in my setup, so here it is: 2015 Macbook Pro Linksys E1200 router with dd wrt installed ReadyNAS 314 with two 4tb HDDs in X-RAID WD 4tb 5400rpm Green in slot 1 WD 4tb 7200rpm Black in slot 2 All cabling is Cat5e I've tried swaping out the cables for different ones to no avail. I've also tried transferring a large file (~5GB) from a Win 7 PC that is also connected via ethernet to the router and got the same results. When I look at the Network tab on the NAS admin page, it says my bandwidth is 100mb/s, not the preferable 1000mb/s. Now, I know enough about networking to get myself in trouble, but not always enough to get out. I'm thinking my router is probably the issue here, but I just want to make sure before I go out an buy a new one. If it is my router, and I do need to get a new one to improve speeds, I am interested in getting one capable of Ethernet teaming with the NAS. (I do a ot of photo editing and I would like a fast connection) I've been scoping the Netgear Nighthawk X8, but i'm not really too excited to go dop that much cash. Another solution I've been pondering is just getting a 1000mb/s capable switch and sticking that inbetween my NAS and computers and having my (possibly) slow router hang off the side. Are there any switches that support Ethernet teaming? Thanks in advance!Solved
