Just want to transfer entire back up from external to new 327L at present laptop on win 7 connected to router via cable and external hard drive to pc via USB. All is working but for @ 400 GB it's saying about a day?

Transfer is 6.7 mg secound .
Local connection at100 Mbps

Am a novice so wondering if this is ok or I should be doing it a different way?

Thanks for any advice

If you use 100 Mbps connection 6-7 MB/s is more or less normal.

If possible you should use a GBit connection. When I once did set up a GBit ethernet connection I could copy files to DNS-327L with about 65 MB/sec so transferring your 400 GB should only take around 105 minutes...

But to do this, you need a GBit compatible Router and PC

If you do not have a GBit compatible Router but a PC you can also use a direct ethernet connection between NAS and PC. This is also shortly described in the manual. Usually you need a cross-over ethernet cable but modern PC LAN chipsets also support this via regular un-crossed ethernet cables.

Another option is to place the PC and ShareCenter on a GB switch if you have one available.
