Problems working on Autocad files stored on Linkstation Pro Duo

[deansmith]

   

Hollo all,

I have purchased Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo 1Tb, firmware revision 3.07.

I have the following problem - LSpro is working in raid 1 mode, it is working fine except when I open and work on Autocad files directly from it over network ( it works very slow, mouse freeze for tenths of a second and every command executes tenths of a second slower than it shoud ). The strange thing is if I work on the same file over network but opened from shared windows folder on another  PC things are fine. So I came to conclusion that the slow part is LS. Any advise  will be highly appriciate.

Should putting LS in raid 0 mode will help??? Should firmware upgreade will help?? Any setting on the LS that I miss?

If you need additional info please ask.

Thank you in advance!

   Anyone?

It's a wonder that you can work with AutoCAD files at all from the NAS. We've seen many problems with AutoCAD files and our NAS products, and I personally have seen issues with other NAS devices as well. AutoCAD simply doesn't like NAS drives. Try pulling the file to the local disk, work on it there, then transfer it back when you're done.

   Could you suggest me a NAS not having problems with Autocad, because I now such solutions exist but I do not know exact devices.
