Hello Guys,

this is my first day with Linkstation NAS. After installation, i tried to backup a 20Gb, and i'm bit surprised that the speed 'only' 9-11Mb/s ,

i'm not in Gigabit environtment... my switch 10/100, i'm using CAT 5 cable... is it normal ?

anything i can optimize to speed up things ?

You can first tell us the model and the firmware version of the unit, it is a start :-)

Model is LS-QVL/R5 Series

Firmware: 1.63

my switch :

- tplink sf1008d (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-SF1008D)

- tplink sf1016d (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-SF1016D)

router:

mikrotik 750 (http://routerboard.com/RB750)

hope there's way to boost...

Ok, the quickest way is to link the Terrastation directly to your PC and transfer a large file and compare the speed.

The soul reason I am telling this Because it is an elimination process, Find the bottle neck and fix it job.

Sole I meant ;-)

9-11MB/sec on a 10/100 network is to be expected.
