Why

[AKFubar]

Please post your current transfer speed

[gunrunnerjohn]

Not a real informative post.    What are the transfer speeds and how are you measuring them.  What is the environment, network speed, jumbo frames, etc.?

Running window 7

DNS-323 ver 1.07

transfer from volume 1 to volume 2

It is my understanding that copying/moving files from Vol 1 to Vol 2 is not a direct copy.  In effect you are copying files from volume 1 on DNS-323 --> network --> your PC --> network --> vol 2 DNS-323.  Because of this your transfer speeds are influenced by the following factors:

1.  File size

2.  Network setup (gigabit vs. 10/100, number of devices on network, speed of switch and/or router, quality of network cables, etc.)

3.  Any other traffic on your network.

So, the speed you are getting may not be unreasonable depending on the above.

[gunrunnerjohn]

Correct, if Windows is involved in the transfer, you are transferring the files over the network twice, coming and going.  If this is a 100mbit network, you can't expect more than about 4mbyte/sec data rates.  In addition, smaller files will slow down tranfers, even if the network isn't the bottleneck.

We still don't know the network speed and if gigabit, are jumbo frames in use and what size are they.

What I'm trying to do is transfer about 40 gigs to volume 2 from volume 1 because I'm going to upgrade to 1.5 TB drives

Why not put one disk into a PC, format it there, and transfer the stuff to the PC connected disk.  It'll be a lot faster.

[AKFubar]

Also, suggest you read this to understand a bit a more about how networks work and speeds:

I found the info is excellent....well explained and easy to understand.

My Transfer speed from net drive to N speed wireless laptop is 3.7-4 meg/s for a 846meg file....Is this normal?

my router and switch is gig speed...

[gunrunnerjohn]

It's not abnormal.  WiFi is MUCH slower than wired connections, even though the bit rate suggests it should be faster.

I'd say it's normal - it's certainly in line with what I've seen on wireless-n.

I drew the same conclusion year ago. Not after I bought my Windows Home Server Box. My WHS and NAS are both attached to router, PC wireless N to network.

Transfer speed of WHS <-> PC is easily double the speed of NAS <-> PC, at least double for sure.
