I set up my NAS today and am copying over 280 GB of video. The estimated time was ~8 hrs.
I'm assuming this is on par with everyone else?

Took me 29 hours to do about 550GB (1GB connection aswell). So you're doing better than me!
I gave the DNS-323 away in the end due to this.
Saying that I got about 11mb/s from my main PC with jumboframes, but 16mb/s from my server (which replaced the 323, my desktop to server without jumboframes is 65+mb/s) without jumboframes. I found it too inconsistent for me.
Although, the person I have given the DNS-323 to only really uses it to read (the files I put on), and will only be writing to it occasionally so it meets their needs. If you do a lot of big transfers like I would be doing though it's not practical.

Firstly, don't rely on the predicted timings, what matters is how long it actually takes. Secondly, whether the speeds you are seeing reflect a reasonable rate will depend on the mix of files (in terms of sizes). With large files you could be getting write speeds of 15 to 17.5MB/s (based on my own testing) if the sending device is capable of sustaining that rate (which most PCs of the past several years ought to be - I have a three-year old Dell GX620 that manages very similar speeds to a month-old overclocked i7 beastie)
