I just got my new desktop and did a couple upgrades to the network
. I added a motorola SB6121 modem, a dlink switch DGS-1005G, and changed all cables to cat6. I have enabled jumbo frames on my desktop and matched the rate with the nas.
The desktop and nas are connected to the switch. All other clients are connected wireless (n band).
I did a couple of trials transferring files (2GB single file and a folder with multiple file sizes) between the desktop and the nas (copy/paste and drag/drop) and I'm getting between 30-40 MB/s. I couldn't use the intel nas performance tool because apparently is not compatible with 64bits.
Does this level of data transfer speed looks reasonable?
On other note, I have to admit that the Synology DS212J is a nice upgrade from my previous DNS-321. It has very nice applications built-in like audiostation, photostation, mediaserver, wordpress, filestation, vpn, in addition all other standard features on similar devices. Ohh well that's another topic..
