Slow read/write ReadyNas duo

[DanVazz]

Hi!

I have a problem with my ready nas duo, since it´s very slow.. I use gigabit switch between my computer and nas, but still a problem with speed aprox 10mb/s.. How can i improve that speed?

Thanks for help on beforehand!
Best regards,
DanVazz

Checked your cables? Need CAT5e or better for GbE performance

[DanVazz]

Using cat5, so it shouldn´t be a problem with either cable or switches.. I guess the problem is with the NAS, since I havent gotten that low speed before. Everything in the house is cat5 and gigabit switches.

[sphardy]

If you are using CAT5, then that is absolutely your problem - those cables only support 100Mbps connections. You may get higher, but that would be good fortune, rather than anything else. As stated, you need CAT5e or better - CAT5e is not the same as CAT5 (100MHz vs 350MHz performance)

[DanVazz]

Haha sorry I meant CAT5e, and no it I get approximately 10mb/s.. :/

What network statistics do you see on the Duo?

Also, is it syncing? Anything new in the SMART parameters?

[DanVazz]

Please say it in other words, or tell me where/how i can check it?

Thanks for all help so far!

Network Statistics - select network, then interfaces, then press the "show errors" button.

SMART parameters - select status, then health, then press the SMART+ button for each drive.

You should be able to tell if the drives are syncing from the Frontview home page.

I recently had my error log reset, as i had some error with some backup jobs which didn't exist - will post the error log as soon as i have something logged

Ok. It looks like your drives are good, so I think we can take that possibility off the table (for now at least).

[DanVazz]

I quite can't understand why it only got 10MB/s, hardware should be good for at least 20MB/s.. Actually I can't really understand what cause it to be so slow..

[StephenB]

Understood. Are there any errors in the network stats?

BTW, what switch are you using?
