Hello everyone - new owner to a DNS-320 and am having some issues with transfer speeds.

I have an external USB 2.0 drive attached to the unit and am transferring some files from the 320 to the usb drive and am getting incredibly slow transfer speeds of 400 KB/s - 1MB/s.

I have transferred some files previously to the usb drive and got 3-4 MB/s which was OK but still not great but now for some reason it is much slower.

Anyone have any ideas as to why the speed has declined ?

Also on another note - I have the 320 attached to a netgear gigabit router which then has a cat 5e cable running to an original xbox console with xbmc on it.

I am trying to watch dvd files from the 320 on the xbox and am consistently getting buffering issues, not long ones but still enough to disrupt the viewing and make it not very enjoyable.

Now I was watching the dvd files from my usb drive when I had it attached directly to the router without any issues so I dont understand how my current sitution can be worse .

Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated thanks.

So I plugged my external drive back into my router and am getting 2-3 MB/s transfer from the usb drive to the DNS-320.

Is it just the usb port on this thing that really really sucks ?  seems like it.

Is the usb port even useful for a network printer ?

Anyone have similar results with the usb port ?

not sure about external storage, but im currently using the usb port for my printer (HP Laserjet 1010). Works like a charm, though it does lag a little compared to a direct usb connection.
