Hi, So I plugged in my WD My passport USB 3 Drive into the USB port on the DNS 320, I was expecting to get at least 10mb/s write and read, I'm only getting between 1.5-2mb/s Write/read, now that is extremely poor. Anyone else get this ? if this is normal then why include a USB port when its going to be totally useless?

Is this writing to the NAS, or you mean reading from the NAS, via USB, to a device on the network?
I've found my USB port to be extremely slow as well. I backed up a 1.5TB drive using the one-click backup feature and it seemed to take about a day and a half. It would have been quicker to plug the drive into a computer and copy to the NAS over Ethernet.
Perhaps the USB port only operates at USB 1 speeds?

Hi, the speeds I'm quoting above are writing/reading to the USB drive. The specs say the NAS has a USB 2 port.

Just tried my USB2 passport drive and that's giving me around 10MBps reads. Not exactly setting the world on fire, but still nowhere near as bad as what you're seeing!
Do you have any extra services running on yours? (UPNP media server, P2P etc...)
Are you using the cable that came with the drive?

Hmm, 10mbit read aint too bad, I have the upnp server running on it.

Might be worth disabling UPNP just to test it... This device isn't exactly great at multitasking, even if one of the tasks is just lying dormant!

Hmm, I guess I could but then if its better with the server off its defeats the purpose, at least for me.
