You should get about 1 gig for every 5-7 min.
Make sure the firmware is up to date and try testing it with the jumbo packets. Run a 1 gig in each of the modes see what works the fastest.
I'm getting very slow backup speed as well, avg is about 480KB/sec, very slow for a gigbit network. I've messed around with the Jumbo Packet sizing on both my wkstn Vista32, Prem and the Linkstation. Firmware version is 1.02. LinkStation LS-CL 500gb.
Have any ideas for me?
I set the unit back to the factory defaults. Using the defaults, I was getting even a slower speed so I uped the Frame size to 9694 and now getting around 580KB /Sec, better but still not near 1gb speed.
Is there a Windows download to reload the firmware? Current downloadable for win is 1.00. There's a 1.02 for Mac, but that won't do me any good.
Help
I am also having this error, with about 500kbps.
I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit, and on a 1000mbps network with jumboframe support.
So since the only version of firmware for Windows is 1.00.26 on the web page and my device has 1.2, I'm to revert to the earlier version?
When I attempted to run the Win Version, it asked me as well if I wanted to go back to the earlier version.
Should I do this? Will it cause issues that could render it useless? Is there a way to back up the firmware prior to reverting?
Paul, you're a genius. Everyone, listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.:smileyvery-happy:
Updating, or in my case backdating the Firmware from 1.02-0.46 to 1.00-0.26 improved performance greatly.
I'm now getting 15-16mb/sec file copies versus the 580 kb/sec I was getting prior to flashing. My network utilization jumped up to around 12.5%. I couldn't even get 1% out of it before. If you can think of any other tweaks other than increasing the frame size, feel free to share. The switch I'm using has the capability of matching the max frame size of the linkstation as well as my Nic.
I'm definitely more statisfied with the performance though.
Not sure how it came with firmware v1.02. I did purchase it through a US company.
Thanks Again
