DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

The file transfer process goes something like this ...

Disk1<->disk_controller<->bus<->NIC1<->cable<->switch<->cable<->NIC2<->bus<->disk_controller<->Disk2

one of those two disks is in the DNS-323, along with all the other bits up to the NIC - the other disk and the other bits upto the NIC are in the other device you're transferring to/from.

You need to consider the entire chain shown when evaluating the transfer speed, it is generally quicker to reading from a disk than it is to write - but - when you're reading from one disk, you're writing to the other - so depending on the speed of the disks, how close to full they are and also the fragmentation level, you just might find that reading from your PC is a lot quicker than writing to it, which of course will mean that writing to your DNS-323, would also appear to be faster.

Hrmm, I also do my transfer tests through FTP. 

How did you measure your HTTP test transfers  speeds?

Im confused, when using windows explorer, how do you see the transfer rate when dragging & dropping files.

Unless your talking about viewing your files on the 323 as a web page (how is that done)?

win vista

Thanks!  Thats pretty cool.  Is a file transfer like that considered a HTTP transfer?

See above, I edited my first post...
