So, this is very weird in my opinion.
My current internet speed when connected to ethernet is 950mbit up and down.
However, when I transfer files to/from my my Apple Time Capsule or my ReadyNAS NV+ I get at most 400mbit.
I'm not very good at networking, but it sounds to me that the bottleneck here is the Apple Time Capsule and ReadyNAS NV+, or could it be something else?
Edit
- Connection: Ethernet, Gigabit (10/100/1000) using Cat5e and Cat6
- NAS: ReadyNAS NV+ 2010 year model (I just read somewhere that this model gives around 15-25 megabyte per second at most)
- Time Capsule: 3Gb, 2013 year model
- Switch lights indicate gigabit connections.
1To answer, you'd have to also give the exact model (year) of Time Capsule and the ReadyNAS and the drives installed. Assuming SATA1 HDD interfaces, theoretically 150 MB/sec or 600 mb/sec and 40 MB/sec or 320 mb/sec being realistic. SATA2 faster by about 2x. The drive speed could be a bottleneck.
I'm assuming your WAN port is Gig and internal switch as Gig, as are your Time Capsule and NAS. Are you connecting wired or wireless? What are you using to test your speed? – Blackbeagle – 2016-01-19T00:35:23.090

@Blackbeagle SATA I (1.5 GBit/s) isn’t any slower than 120 MByte/s in practice. Of course, spinning disks are much slower in most workloads. // Here’s a benchmark with speeds one can actually expect. It’s as expected: Consumer grade NAS devices are slow.
