Alrighty, here's my situation (this may be more facts than you need, but thought I should give them all). I know *how* to do everything I'm describing here. I just need a little guidance as to how to do it *securely*. I have a QNAP 259 Pro NAS sitting behind a Netgear WNDR3700 Router...

This is a pretty simple question, so I'm assuming I'm just missing something. I have a TS-259 Pro to which I have attached an external eSATA drive for backup purposes. The internal drives (two identical WD RE3 1TB drives are set in RAID 0 and are formatted Ext4). The eSATA drive is...

Thanks. I've read both review on SNB, found as many other reviews as I could elsewhere on the web, and compared the specs/feature lists, and I'm still torn. I was hoping there might be a compelling reason to go one way or the other. As for waiting, I have an NAS now that I'm looking to...

Needs (in no particular order): 1. Data storage. 2. File server to client PCs. 3. Backup client PCs to NAS. 4. Backup NAS to connected eSATA/USB drive. 5. Media server to PS3/XBOX/DVR/ETC. (DLNA/UPNP). 6. Speed. The router is a Netgear WNDR3700. Client PCs are connected...

Alrighty, I only really need 2 bays, so I've got it narrowed down to: QNAP TS-259 Pro QNAP TS-239 Pro II Synology DS209+II You have reviews of the last two in that list and, frankly, they appear to be six in one hand, half dozen in the other. As between them, is one materially better...

I thought RAID 1 was, basically a mirrored drive? In any event your solution makes sense except that I do need UPnP/DLNA (it feeds a PS3 and 360) and my current Linkstation doesn't support that and my current Linkstation is too small. This does bring up the solution, though, I think, that...

Will one of those two devices do a regularly scheduled backup from a network share like that (connected to the network via the USB port on the WNDR3700) *without* involving my PC? That is, can I do what I'm after here (i.e. automatic, incremental backups of that USB drive without PC...

Alright, I'm kinda new at this, but I'm looking for a better, preferably more automated, way to backup the below-referenced USB Drive to the below-referenced NAS. Here's the scenario: 1. 1.5 TB USB Drive contains all of my documents and media (you know, the important stuff). 2. USB...

That's to/from my laptop and the USB drive attached to the router with my laptop hardwired to the router via Cat6 through my laptop's gigabit ethernet port. As indicated in the first post, with my laptop accessing the router wirelessly via the WNDA3100v2 11n USB dongle, I'm getting an average...

After a little more testing, it's obvious that the bottleneck is at the USB drive. D/L and U/L speeds to/from my Backup NAS (hardwired with Cat6) on the 5GHz band are around 100Mbps. Still not ideal, but definitely passable. Speeds to/from the USB drive are still as reported above which...

For the record, I'm assuming the USB drive is formatted NTFS if those are the speeds you are getting. I reformatted mine (WD 1.5TB) to ext3 and now get in the neighborhood of 15MB/s (wired, gigabit, cat6).

Well, I tried every possible combination of channel widths (i.e. up to 54, 130, and 300) on both bands, and my best results were with the settings in my initial post (i.e. up to 300 on both bands). No improvement. Getting 38.64Mbps average on a 2GB download from the connected USB drive; that's...

By "G mode only", do you mean change the "Mode" from "up to 300Mbps" to "up to 54Mbps"? I'm pretty sure you were using an NTFS formatted drive, though, correct? Your results are about what mine were when the drive was formatted NTFS (I had peaks a little closer to 100Mbps). I reformatted to...

I see some people in this thread have reported Wireless-N transfer speeds with this router of between 14MB/s to 18MB/s. I must be doing something wrong because my wireless speeds are nowhere near that. My wired speeds are barely in that range. Any suggestions on what I can do to improve my...
