Title: Very slow transfer speeds, what is going on?! Please help!
Post by: hiohaa on November 28, 2014, 04:08:55 PM
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED - volume encryption makes it really slow. Disabled it through formatting, makes it quick again.


i bought this 327L with a 4TB NAS seagate drive.
Im getting insanely slow write/read speeds, i mean, ridiculous, 95mbps write, 105mbps down.

My entire network is gigabit.
I am using a free piece of software called LAN speed test (lite). I have a PC connected to a router. There are multiple external drives connected to the PC. I am moving all the data on them to the NAS, also on the network.

I  have checked all the data transfer speeds and they are all normal, so from PC to external drive, from PC to another device connected to the network and a switch, all the speeds are perfect.

When i check PC to NAS (which is on the network) i get that 95 up, 105 down. Its terrible, it means when im trying to copy files from my external hard drive to this nice new NAS drive i got to back everything up, its doing it at like 10MB/s! I can't sit around for days.

I have tried upgrading the firmware to the latest version, made no difference. Ive tried a different ethernet cable, thats made no difference. Tried different slots on the router, no difference.
When I run the test, it starts really quickly (in a 1000mb file) then around 800mb it just slows right down)
What the hell do i do?
