Slow file transfer and writing speed

Post by rudran82 »

Dear All

Just joined the Asustor family, and would like to seek some assistance.

I've got the Nimbustor 4 with two 6TB Seagate Ironwolf 5400 RPM HDD running on RAID1 configuration. It's currently connected to my node Asus Zenwifi AX router (2.5gbe WAN port).

But somehow, the maximum speed of file transfer that I'm able to attain (drag and drop from my laptop via wifi) is only around 20MB/sec and at times below 10MB. Is there something that I have misconfigured here? I know it may not be possible to attain the full write-speed of 100+MB but surely the transfer rate would be much higher than 20MB.

Appreciate your guidance.

Thanks.

I believe it's caused by WIFI. WIFI is easy to get interference from other devices. You should use wired connection to get the maximum speed.

Hi Orion.

Thanks. Will try out a wired connection from my computer to the NAS and see if the issues persists.
