Title: Linkstation Quad operating at 100Mb instead of 1Gb
Post by: samd on October 20, 2009, 03:08:34 PM
   

Doing transfers from a server to the Linkstation I am getting around 10MBs. This comes out to about 80Mbs. Both the server and the NAS on the same 1Gb switch. I can transfer between the same server and another server on the same switch at 1Gb (verified by looking at transfer rate in windows). So my conclusion is it appears the NAS is running at 100Mb instead of 1Gb. I'm on firmware version 1.05 and will be upgrading to 1.10 to verify it's not that. But anyone else have this problem?

Firmware update didn't solve it. Still operating at 100Mb it appears. According to the web site it can operatte at 1000Mb.

10MBs is a little low, but not much.  This is a NAS device not a file server, so it bottlenecks at the processor.

 

Check under system info > network and it should tell you the linkspeed.

Link Speed
1000 Mbps (Full Duplex)

80Mb (same as 10MB which is what we are getting) is over 10 times slower than 1000Mb. I wouldn't call that a little.
