Hi all,

I have NAS DLINK 320 with two HDDs 1TB each. They aren't in RAID, just two volumes Standard configuration. I want to copy some contents from one to another. I have installed fun_plug and I want to transfer my files and folders (mainly videos) without using copy command or tool on my computer - I want to avoid network transfer and I don't want to keep my computer bussy. I use the following command:

rsync -av --progress [srcfromdiska] [desttodiskb]

My first idea was this should be faster transfer, because this copy command (rsync) will work using local memory, cpu etc. of NAS device. But as I see from rsync progress info the speed is about 8 MB/s. I have tried to do the same using Debian Sqeeze, but the result is the same - speed 6-7-9 MB/s.

What is wrong? I think it should be much faster. What I have missed? Is this a maximum possible speed for such kind of internal transfer?

Thanks!

Which hardware revision does your NAS belong to?

The last time I did a data migration across HDD, I used mv command and took like 1hr to move 100GB across. I wasn't too concern about the speed since I can always launch it as a background process without leaving my PC turn on.
