Data speed Synology 212+

[chrisgerrist]

I have a brand new Synology 212+ in a 1000mb network.
When I copy a 40 gig file to the filesystem it goes with 11mb per second.

Why is this so slow?

"11mb per second": if you mean 11 MB/s: 11 - 12 MB/s is typical for a 100 mbit connection.
Check DSM | Control Panel | Network interface tab.
Network status should read: 1000, Full duplex, MTU 1500
"1000mb network": Bad cables, source device doesn't support gigabit, problem with router?
And, if the source device is a USB connected HDD, formatted as NTFS, this could be the bottleneck.

I bet is DSM 4! I just bought a DS212 as with my usual luck I discovered that the new OS has crappy speed because of the write cache disabled and so I had to downgrade to 3.2 and now i get 30/35 mbs when before I was getting 8 mbs!

Got the same problem. 'Cept how did you downgrade? I've tried several ways, and I can't back out my current DSA build.

it's easy search the forum, you have to edit a file that contains the current version (so you'll select something less than what you want to downgrade to) and then you just to the update from the normal update window... BUT I just saw that the 4.1 beta is out hopefully they have reintroduces the write cache and solved the problem!!

I've seen other posts about slow transfer speeds. The last post I read recommended opening a new ticket so that each system can be addressed individually. Here I am.

About the best upload speed I've gotten so far is 5MB/s (which I could live with, seeing as the PC I'm transferring from has a 100Mb card), but very often I get stuck at 5-10KB/s, which is really frustrating.

I have 212+ connected directly to a Linksys WRT160N v3 router with the provided ethernet cable. My PC (Win7 Home Premium 64 bit) is also connected directly to the same router. Why would it connect at faster speeds only occasionally? Please help!

"Opening a new ticket" doesnt mean opening a new thread but contacting Synology support

I purchased a new DS212+ a few weeks ago, installed DSM 4.0 and using my usual ftp program to transfer files onto it i get around 58 - 65MB/s for large files like mkv

On my old nas drive D-Link DNS-323 i used to get about 10 -12MB/s.

So i'm well happy with the speed.

I've bought a DS212+, 1 month ago. I'm still struggling getting it performing at an appropriate / acceptable speed. File transfer via my network (high speed telecom router (telenet fiberlink 60Mbps)) is at around 900 Kbps to 1Mbps ... so at around 1/100s of what I'm expecting. I already unplugged my Powerline to make sure I have no interference. My architecture is: network cable from router to my Dell PC, (no wireless used!). DS212+ via another network cable to sme telecom router (w 4 ports).
Can someone pls advice on how to get my performance right?

Hi. Bought a 212+ and installed 2 3Tb Seagate drives. Configurated as RAID1. In unloading from my XP machine (internal sata hard drive), transfer rates are 3-6Mb/s. I have a gigabyte network card in the XP machine, gigabyte router and the 212+ shows it’s 1000, full duplex, MTU 1500. When I transfer files to other computer on my Gb network the rates are very fast, but not to the 212+. What am I missing?
