Title: Buffalo Linkstation LS-WXL8B2 (6 TB) - Ethernet Speed
Post by: pkroll on September 10, 2022, 03:49:27 PM
Hello all!

I have a problem with my "Buffalo Linkstation LS-WXL8B2 (6 TB)"...

The Ethernet Speed is about 20-40 MegaBytes/Second.

My "Buffalo Terastation TS3410D538 (TS3410D) (16 TB)" is about 80-120 MegaBytes/Second.

Why it is so slow (Linkstation). Maybe i need to change a setting or similar. I simply don't know.

Any help to solve this problem, would be very fine! :)

That's a complicated question.

I would expect based on the age of the devices that the maximum speed of the included hard drives minus the overhead required for things like filesystems would explain a lot of it. The TS3410 also has something like 20x the cpu power as well as 8x the memory which is itself several times faster etc.

In short I would think the bottleneck on the TS3410 would be either the gigabit ethernet adapter or the maximum speed of the drives/raid array depending on load. For the LS-WXL it's probably a combination of the drives themselves and CPU/memory resources being shared between the Network adapter, SATA interface and any firmware/OS activity.
