Performance on DNS-320L - why so low?
« on: January 31, 2013, 04:14:14 AM »
Hi,

After several tests on the 320L I have found that the maximum possible transfer rate is around 23-25MB/s with direct access and cable (should give a transfer rate around 200 mbps). The same as many others on the internet have reported.

The reviews and specs also states that you can connect with 10/100/1000 mpbs for higher transfer rates..

I am not sure I understand this..

What is the reason to use more expensive 7200 rpm drives when the BUS only allow around 200mpbs?
What is the reason to connect with a 1000mpbs when the BUS only allow around 200mpbs?
What is the reason to set your drives to run RAID 0 for faster performance when the BUS only allow around 200mpbs?

What is the official transfer rate on the device given by DLINK?

Or is the low/poor performance caused by the SMB on the device?

Or what am I doing wrong here..?

Thanks, K

Theres a 1000 mbit lan port because its standard, cheaper then making a 200 - 300 mbit lan port ;-)
The official speed is about 20 - 30 MB/s i think. Just ordered my dns-320L few days ago and now im just waiting. Only purpose it will have is as ftp server. The device is also only with 1 Ghz cpu and 256 MB ram and thats not much.. You could try alt-f firmware but its at your own risk.
