    Gigabit LAN, why is write much slower than read?

    Thanks for all the insight and replies, great stuff. To the comments about the NAS, I didn't actually provide any details on the Synology transfers... all those rates were transfering between Yosemite (Macbook) and Snow Leopard (iMac). Interestingly when I transfer to a USB2.0 shared drive...

    Gigabit LAN, why is write much slower than read?

    Thanks for the reply. That all makes sense, but shouldn't be a little bit higher than 64Mbps? When I test against a shared 7200 2tb WD drive (through the iMac) I get similar speeds on the gigabit connection, and when I do it the other way (iMac to Macbook) it's comparable. Just seems like a...

    Gigabit LAN, why is write much slower than read?

    Recently finished install on a home 802.11n / gigabit network. I've been testing the network post install with LAN Speed Test, and I'm encountering a couple of issues. The Synology read/write speeds are half what I can get to other devices (which I'm assuming is partly the WD green 5400...

    Dlink DNS-323, Synology DS207+, or Netgear ReadyNAS Duo?

    Unfortunately... Neither of you actually answered my question! Well, one of you did, but only in passing. As for the criticisms of the Syn and Duo, that's in direct contrast with all the reviews I've found (in which just about every user is very happy). Speed is an issue for crappier units...

    Dlink DNS-323, Synology DS207+, or Netgear ReadyNAS Duo?

    So, finally getting ready to abandon my old desktop and move everything over to a nice, small NAS. I've narrowed my choice down to these three options, but I'm having trouble picking. Any help or thoughts from unit owners would be appreciated. To give you some context, I'm going to connect...
