[QUOTE="dir, post: 361631, member: 24485"] I don't know about your unit, but historically, NAS units have extremely slow transfer performance. Just because it has a gigabit ethernet connection, or 802.11n, has nothing whatsoever to do with actual bandwidth. You should look for some NAS performance benchmarks and you'll probably be surprised at how badly they perform. As I said, I don't know about your unit, but don't assume that actual read/write speeds going in/out of the unit are anything close to the max. (theoretical) limits mentioned on tech sheets. There's nothing illegal about claiming a unit "Comes with a 1000Mbit network connection, USB3.0, 802.11n, and eSATA connectors with over 1GB/sec. max throughput". A totally true statement that neatly avoids mentioning that the motherboard, operating system, (software) RAID, and file system together are incapable of more than 6MB/sec write speeds and 9MB/sec read speeds.
