Speijk,
when you speak of 18000 MB/s I'm sure this is not meaning Megabyte per second - is it?
That would be a thousand times faster than the transferrates everybody else gets.

Oops, typo!
you are right. It is KB/s

Copying a couple of gigs worth of files on Vista machine to the NAS, Vista shows a transfer speed of around 9.2 MB/sec. It fluctuates a bit, but that is about the average.
Note - I have a 100 Megabit router.
In case anyone cares I updated my Vista machine with service pack 1 (you can find it out there), and my transfer speeds from Vista machine to DNS323 now average around 10.5 MB/sec.

I just installed a second drive (two separate drives, no raid or JBOD), since then the speed has dropped to under 500Kb/s....
This is through my laptop (copying one folder on one drive to one folder on the other drive) with wireless and many small files.
This is the worst case scenario, but even then I think the speed is very low. Is that normal?
Before the new drive I could copy at 5-6 Mb/s (3-4 wireless)
Does this have to do with the second drive?

It probably has more to do with the wireless than anything else - wireless is half duplex - it cannot transmit and receive at the same time.

well apparently it has to do with the small files and the fact that the copy is from one to the other. I am now downloading from the second drive wireless one big file to my laptop and getting appr 7Mb/s! and sometimes up to 10....
Problem solved.

Small files do take longer - due to the head assemblies having to move back & forth between directory areas & data areas.
