Synology 916+ slow file transfer from PC

[bledd]

Out of interest, which drives do you have in your NAS, how many of them?

Also, is your Unifi switch on it's latest firmware? Is the Edgeswitch on it's latest firmware?

I've not updated any firmware BUT the UNFI switch is only a month or so old and the Edgeswitch a month or so older than that. But I know that a newer firmware MAY have fixed any issues. I'll look into that


I have 4 3tb WD Reds

yes if you can try without the CCTV recording to the NAS.

Although it might only be writing @ 2.5MB/s, if you are trying to read from it at the same time you are forcing the hard drive(s) to constantly seek to two different locations (which will cripple read speed)

Worth doing a large file test with the NAS on the same switch (with the CCTV disconnected).
Note speed.

Connect up CCTV

Disconnect CCTV, move to other switch.

If it's just 2.5MB/s from the CCTV, then it shouldn't impact your normal copying speed much.

It has to be the PC.

I've transferred a 700Mb file and a 7 gig movie. Got 30MB/s over wifi to my laptop. Plugged my laptop into my switch and the 700mb file transferred before I could swap screens to check and the 7gig movie came in at over 115MB/s.

The lights on the switch and pc say its connected at 1000 but something isn't right. I cant get into the PC though as my GPU is knackered. Well I suppose I'm due an upgrade

Ubiquiti update firmware very often. Update them both.

Do you know if its easy update. My Unifi ACPro does it automatically but I've not found a Click here to update yet on the switches.

I'll have a dig around


Edit: Well that was simple. Both switches and AP updated in 10 mins

What version is your controller on? It should be 5.4.11, this will give you the latest updates for the Unifi gear.

Not sure what you mean by your GPU playing up. Whatever it is, sounds like something was running at 100Mbit.

I'm using their cloud controller.

The graphics card on the PC has died. Its not outputting any video so I cant physically check that. However we've ruled out pretty much everything else so I'll get hold of another GFX card and report back.

Thanks For all your help.

More "issues"/ User error

Not sure whats happened whether its been updated and settings have changed but I cant access via Quickconnect. It says Network error please check DNS and network settings.

How should it be set up.

I can access my CCTV via SS. But seem to be no outside/internet access
