Poor transfer speeds to NAS via Virgin Media Superhub
I have a PC and a a Netgaer NAS drive wired to a new Virgin Media Super Hub. My PC has a gigabit NIC and the super hub and NAS are both gigabit. I'm using cat 5e cables throughout
When transferring files using FTP from my PC to the NAS I get a constant 4 MB/s which is very slow.
Re: Poor transfer speeds to NAS via Virgin Media Superhub
I get NAS write @ 26MB/s and read @ 45MB/s through my superhub (wired on gigabit all the way) which is roughly the NAS spec..
Have noticed though that with very large files it does drop the write speed drops to 6MB/s for some weird reason (I wonder if it's a fragmentation issue)
This is an option - although messing with your TCP window size could potentially increase read / write speeds on your LAN, which will be extremely low latency, will likely cause you to have issues when downloading things off the internet etc.
also if you have windows Vista or later, the TCP window is tuned automatically.
