Why is my transfer speed so low?
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:14:10 AM »
Hi, I have an older NAS, a TS-TGLD30 (TS-2.0TGL/R5), with 4 SATA drives in a 1.395 GB RAID 5 configuration.  The network link is 1000Mbps and Jumbo Frames is set to the highest speed.  The data transfer speed I am seeing is about 7.0 MB/sec which I think is low considering the links speed.  In comparison, I have a QNAP TS-459 PRO II with a transfer speed in excess of 100MB/sec sustained.  Is there anything I can do to make the Buffalo system faster?  Thanks in advance for any information you may have!

Try to disable the jumbo frames on the linkstation, as sometimes using jumbo frames can effect the transfer speed so that it becomes very slow.

The highest transfer rate you could get on this unit was 14MB/s due to the age of the unit (7+ years) and the crappy 266Mhz Freescale processor.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.

ratty and davo:  Thanks for the replies.  I tried disabling jumbo and no help and I think it's the ancient technology inside.
