It's strange that you guys are seeing performance issues.

My DNS-323 is connected to a 10/100 router and my Windows 7 laptop is Wireless N 300Mbps.

I've just transferred a 2.5GB file to the DNS-323 and Windows reports a speed of ~6.28-7.24MB/second without modifying anything.

The same test connected via an ethernet cable to the router shows ~10MB/second

I'm on a DNS-321 with Firmware 1.3. I suspect the DNS-323 has a different samba version than the 321. Could you report back with your DNS-323 firmware version and the samba version.

F/W: 1.08
Samba: 3.0.24

Thanks. This is consistent with my research. In version 3.0.28 they added some additional "chattiness" to resolve some other bug which decreased performance. The slowless was resolved in a later version of samba. This is also consistent with why smallnetbuilder saw much better performance using the 1.0 version of the DNS-321 firmware. On a device with so little CPU power this was amplified. One thing I do notice is the the CPU usage during a samba transfer hovers around 50-80% so there is probably another bottleneck in the system.

It's interesting to note that I think my fastest times were with firmware 1.07...
