Moving Files Within Network Drive Is Very Slow

  • 2

I am trying to move a large number of video files with in the network drive itself (ie. from one folder to another) but it is taking a very long time. I am connected to the drive directly and it is transferring at arounf 10mb/s.

Am I right in thinking this is for some reason going through the network and if so I do I stop it form doing that?

I hope this makes sense and thanks for your advice in advanced.

  1. From a quick look at the manual it doesn’t appear to be possible to manipulate files directly on the device. The best you can do is to ensure that the network is working at the fastest possible speed. I assume that you have a gigabit ethernet adapter on your computer, but are you using a gigabit switch (or if you are using just the router, are its ports gigabit)? Another thing you can change is to enable jumbo frames on both the device and your computer. These two can make a huge difference in transfer speeds.
