I have the following config:
- LinkStation LS-QL/R5 series set up in a RAID 10 configuration.
- It is running firmware v 1.05.
- I have tried all of the ethernet frame sizes and have seen little to no change in the throughput.
- a non-managed Gigabit switch between the PC (with Gigabit NIC) and the Buffalo.
When I test an external USB drive I have, I get throughput of about 15 MB/sec. The most I've seen from the Buffalo is < 4.5 MB/sec. I realize the RAID config slows down data transfer a little, but should I really expect transfer to be less than 1/3 that of a USB connected drive?
