First time NAS user

Post by HiTorque »

Hello from South Australia, from a hot summer season!
I was able to setup AS3302Tv2 with two 4TB WD Red Plus HDDs. PC connected to NAS with UGREEN USB 3.0 to 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter, 2.5G TP-Link switch wired CAT7 (25m) to another TP-link 2.5G switch and then to NAS. NAS seems to be running ok, used mostly for photos backup at this stage.
I have two questions (1) about network speed AiMaster shows very slow speed just a couple of kb/sec but HDD Read/Write at the same time - 2-5 Mb/sec.
(2) If I map NAS folders using Windows Explorer they seem to be the same and not updated, but EzSync has them updated. I can't understand that bit!
Thanks.

(2) - fixed by updating NAS permissions and using Asustor Control panel app for Windows.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
1. I suggest opening Task Manager on your PC and watching the Ethernet tab to get a good idea of the transfer speed. You can also use Activity Monitor from the Web GUI to see the network speed. Why use the tiny screen on a phone when your PC (hopefully) has a decent size screen. ;)
