Dear Sirs.
Sorry for my bad English.
After installing 2 hard drives Seagate Barracuda 2TB Green SATA3 64MB, format and configure as RAID1 everything works fine, but the rate of transfer of files between the PC and the NAS does not exceed 20 MB / s. (both the browser as ftp)
However, the transfer of files between 2 pc's on the same network reaches up to 100 MB / s
Both the pc and router and have ports Gigabit NAS and use Cat.6 UTP cable.
Why I have a transfer rate so low?
(firmware 2.0)
Thanks

Anyone? Nothing?

I have always had very slow speeds on my NAS too, have had open calls with D-Link since I got it but have had no luck speeding things up, strangely it cannot be the inbuilt NIC as torrent speeds are much faster than transfar speeds

These are normal transfer rates for this device, see http://nas-tweaks.net/148/transfer-rate-and-networkperformance-of-the-d-link-dns-320/

Transfer rate is limited by hardware specifications, you can not expect the same performance from a $100 device than from a $500+ PC.

This is an inexpensive low power consumption device, it doesn't aim at achieving high performance.

Pretty much what I get as well deoending on file size.

But for this, which had used 100Mbps ports, the result would have been similar and lower cost.

20MB/s is the most you will get out of this device.

Consider yourself lucky, I have a problem where my speeds drop to 1MB/s. I have to restart my NAS, Router, and Switch in order for the speeds to increase. Even after that I only see 20MB/s on a good day; most of the time my average speed is around 10-12MB/s.

The problems may be due to many issues, cabling, motherboard chipset, HDD read/write speeds, network setttings, Proper NIC configuration, other network components (100Mb etc) as the network will likely operate at the speed of it's slowest cpmponent.

There could be many bottleknecks that you could try to identify, but in my experience even using high cost NIC's you won't get the max speed you expect ue to other limitations of other components.

I regularly see 20 MB/s transfer speeds withj my DNS-320 on an all Gb ethernet network, with Jumbo frames enabled and all NIC configurations checked to correspond with one another, before I made the move from fast ethernet (100Mb) my speeds were between 1 - 2 MB/s so seeing a x10 increase from 100Mb ethernet to 1000Mb ethernet, shows that at least the network is running optimally, it's just the HDD read/write speeds bottleknecking things IMO. as moving similar files even from one HDD to another on the same PC, usually results in transfer spees of approx 12 - 18 MB/s, depending on the file size...!! Likely a limitation of the mobo chipset..!!

I thinbk blaming slow speeds on the DNS-320 is probably not the cause in most cases...!!

Ok, thanks to all
