What is the best practise for best upload and download?

Anyone?

[pippomostarda]

I tried every configuration. For me the best is with just one cable connected...

What is ethernet bonding?

[pippomostarda]

Use both ethernet links...

[HunterGeo]

Ah, ok. Thanks.

So what are your speeds for up/dl?   I have around 90-100MB/s download (read) and 40-50MB/s upload(write).

Only adaptive options works without special switch.

[pippomostarda]

It depends on drives configuration...

hey just confused a little on the ethernet bonding i have the lan1 and pan2 both connecting to 2 ports on the back of my time capsule

are they both suppose to go there? what will happen if i connect one to a computer and one to the router?

and what are the best settings for transferring and speed performance will be streaming alot around the house to different devices

help is much appreciated

Take a look at this:

This article explains all the modes.

I use Adaptive Load Balancing.

I have a matching pair of CAT6 cables going from my NAS to my Gbit switch. I also found that I had to restart my NAS before it would start working correctly. I have firmware 1.01 installed. Initially when I set it up it showed the IP as being 169.254.xxx.xxx even though I could get it to on its reserved IP.

I use Adaptive Balancing and get 80MB/s writes from my Mac to the NAS hardwired through ethernet.

Dnsguy: the question is how are your drives configured?

2-2TB Seagate Barracuda drives mirrored and encrypted.

Ok, I'm going to experiment a bit with the link aggregation.

Had a 500GB (7200 RPM) test hard drive in my unit (while waiting for two WD Red 3TB drives to arrive). While doing a backup from my computer to the NAS I was getting 9% network utilization (Windows resource monitor)....and backing my system drive as a 260GB image (sector) was agonizingly slow.

My two WD drives have arrived and are installed.

I was out of ethernet ports (Dlink DIR-655 4 port + Dlink 5 port switch) so replaced the 5 port with an 8 port switch and thus now have LAN 1 and LAN 2 cables running into the NAS.

Will do some reading and try to figure out what is the best choice for joining the ports to improve performance.

This document http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt seems to offer the most useful information on the way to "Maximum Throughput", in section 12....but I've read it twice and it hasn't sunk in yet...hoping others will take a look at this and offer suggestions..!!
