Slow speeds transferring from PC to Synology

up2nogooduk · 27 Jan 2017 at 14:20

Hi,

I have a new Synology DS216+
I'm transferring 2.56 TB of movies from my pc to the Synology.
On there website it states it should be 1000 Mbps, but mine says 100 Mbps,
so it's downloading at 11.3 MB/s so time left is 2 days 5 hours lol.
Surely there is a faster way?
I have a Killer E2200 Gigabyte Ethernet on my Motherboard.
Is there a way to make it faster?

Thanks

A little bit noddy but what cable are you using? Cat 5e or higher?

In the Synology, have you checked to make sure it's running at 1000Mbps, Full Duplex?

2.56TB, That's a large about of caching going on there! :-/

If it's running at 100Mbps then there must be some device between the PC and NAS that is running at this speed. Is it connected through a switch or router? What's it's specs?

Just clicked in my head when you said switch. i'm using a TP-LINK TL-SF1005D 5-Port 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Desktop Switch, this was the problem.
Is there a switch i could buy that would work. ?

Thanks for you're help guys.

There you go then, easy fix

Any Gigabit Switch will do the job mate.

Here's an example: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tp-link-5-port-desktop-gigabit-switch-5-101001000m-rj45-ports-plastic-case-tl-sg1005d-v6-nw-174-tp.html

I should have known

Thanks for you're help

P.S there any difference between the link you sent and this one ? apart from having 8 ports https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tp-link-8-port-10-100-1000mbps-desktop-switch-tl-sg108-nw-155-tp.html

No probs

From just having a quick shifty:

Front mounted 8 ports
Medal case instead of plastic
Reduced power on idle ports
