I've just got hold of an N40l and was having a bit of a tinker with it last night. I installed Open Media Vault and got it up and running but I'm not getting the sort of network transfer speeds I was expecting. Copying a film across from my PC to the server it was maxing out at about 20 - 25Mb/s, slower than copying to a NAS I also have which gets to about 40Mb/s. Both are hooked up to gigabit router/switch with cat5e cables.
Before I upgrade my network to gigabit, the NAS was maxing out at about 11Mb/s so things are definitely faster than they were before but I feel like the N40l is more limited by a 100mbit connection rather than going slow on gigabit (if that makes sense).
It did occur to me that when I set up the server, it was hooked up to an older switch which is only 100mbit, could it be that during the setup it was detected at 100mbit and that has been added as a setting somewhere?
Or, having done a bit of reading, is it likely to be because I'm writing to an NTFS hdd?
