I have a NAS drive ( 2 x 1TB) and it is surprisingly very slow .... takes Hrs to put a backup file on it. Even though connected only a metre from Router.
Mine is a D-Link DNS 323 ..... and best it ever does is 10MB/s
buy a 100mbps switch then
That's what you get for buying a D-Link unit. I have two NASs. One I built myself using a Turion chip micro-ATX board, old PC case and some drives lying around. The other is a QNAP. Homebrew is 80-100 MB/s the QNAP 100-150 MB/s. a no-name shonky NAS with a 2TB drive is as bad as your D-Link, only gets used because it is also a freeview recorder.
Lightning! :-)
You mean a gigabit switch? 100mbs is surely what he already has.
I don't see how you can say that. That Dlink has a gigabit port so its obviously not connnected by a fast switch. Probably it in his router which probably only has a 10Mbps switch in it
I get pretty much 100Mbps between my desktop and server - because I have a massive 100MPS switch in between.
Its true that my latest router also does 100MPbs..allegedly, but the old one didn't.
If he's getting 10 mega BYTES it must be on a 100 mega BITS or better port.

But he said the best it ever did was 10 MB/s, which means 80 Mbps of data is already getting processed, plus whatever protocol info gets pushed around. I think that probably means a 100Mbps connection running flat out.
Or have I misunderstood?
ah..missed that..
Probably. In professional circles serial links are always measured in bits per second. Mb/s and MB/s are the same. There are people that try to insist that Mb/s and MB/s are different. In reality professionals now write bits/s or bytes/s so there is no misunderstanding.
I had this bizarre idea that professionals would use scientific notation
- that is, s?¹ rather than /s.
(That will probably screw-up right royally - it is lower-case 's', superscript minus one.)
We just write "the lan". We all know its gig ethernet :)
"10 meg" "100 meg" or "gig" are the names I recall flying about. Or going back further, thick string, thin string and TP.

And pigeons.
Liquorice, string amd "Bloody 'ell, that's fast"

Yes, people who know what they are talking about. Clearly this group excludes you.
How would you know what professionals do Pennis?
For a 1000lb horse; 50 to 60 lbs/day apparently.
And there was I thinking that professional circles would be serially linked by chains. Or is that _into_ chains? But a chain is 66 feet not
50 to 60 pounds...
Well its easy enough to prove you talk cr@p.
For instance Cisco use 100MB when they refer to 100 Megabit switches, which just shows that MB is meaningless.
Of course the engineers that produce the technical documents spell it out as megabits.
Shouldn't you be out pressing some olives to make cheap oil or are buying it from lidl and reselling it?
Oh, dennis, you still make me smile after all this time.
