I've just bought a Synology DiskStation DS412+ and put 2 x 3TB Western Digital Red drives in it, set up in RAID 0. It's currently plugged in to my gigabit Netgear switch.
I created a user with full permissions on the NAS, created a share, mapped a drive on my Windows 7 PC (also gigabit ethernet) and tried copying some files, but I'm getting painfully slow transfer speeds (< 40KB/s - yes, kilobytes, it's not a typo!
Does anyone have any ideas why it'd be so slow? There's loads of reports online of people getting > 80MB/s from this NAS.
I've copied files from this PC to my MacBook Pro in the past and got decent enough speeds so it shouldn't be an issue with the NIC on this PC, or (hopefully) the Netgear switch it's going through.
Thanks
Edit - Resources are pretty low..
if you log onto the management page, is your resource consumption reasonable (CPU/RAM)? whats it detect your network connection as? – Frank Thomas – 2013-03-24T23:32:49.193
Added an image to show resources, they're pretty low.. can't actually find the page where it tells you what the network's connected at :| I was looking at it a few hours ago but can't find it again. Pretty sure it said 1000 Full Duplex or something, but any idea where I find the page again? – BT643 – 2013-03-24T23:46:11.260
on my DS209+ (DSM 4.1), its under Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface tab, under 'Network Status'. if its not present on your version, Try ssh'ing into the nas as root (same passwd as 'admin'), and run this: 'dmesg | grep -i duplex' to see your link speed and duplex. – Frank Thomas – 2013-03-25T01:50:45.453
