Network Speed related to Drive Format?
I have an A300 that has a 2TB drive formated to ext3 and transfer speeds with FTP are generally around 20 to 24MB/s. I just got a C300 and installed a USB stick internally for NMT apps and a 2TB drive for content. The best transfer speed I can get is around 7MB/s. Will taking out the USB stick and formatting the drive to ext3 make any difference? They are both hard wired to a GB network and network speed is set to auto.

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
is your 2 tb drive ntfs? NTFS will always be a little slower as its not native to linux so it has to do more things. but why not take the drive out of your A300 pop it into the the C300 and test the speeds.

I don't really want to take the drive out of the A300 if I can avoid it. Will the speed be 3 times slower? It seems a huge difference. |

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
I have taken out the USB stick and reformatted the SATA drive to ext3 and I can confirm that the transfer speed through FTP has gone from 7MB/s to 20+MB/s. Quite an improvement.

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
It would as you are moving to the /share.
Had you moved files to the /share when the USB stick was your /share then yuo would also have got the same speed you have now. The HDD when setup with USB Apps is no longer the /share unless you go back into NMT SetupWizarsd and select Media Drive. Then set that to your HDD. Are you using torrents on the 300? That can slow down things with a NTFS HDD.

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
There has been an identified bad default setting that is buggy and you can't adjust in the 300s.. however how to adjust it yourself has been found..
see this thread: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=58703 I think everyone has a 100% increase in network speed after applying it. |

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
I to am suffering from slow transfer speeds to my NTFS 3tb PCH internal drive. Have the USb stick with the apps installed and it is of course ext3.
is there any easy way to format my 3tb drive to ext3 and keep the full space on it. I can't seem to find a way to do this in the PCH itself. can a windows 7 system format a drive to ext3? |

RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
Arconis disk director suite will do it from windows...
PCH-A100/A210/C200/A400 500GB EXT3 HDD<-->HDMIv1.3<-->Onkyo TX-NR1010<-->HDMIv1.3<-->Panasonic TX-P46S10 13 NTFS USB drives on 3 hubs attached to the A300, 3 Seagate blackarmour NAS 3TB, 2 Seagate Central 4TB The inability to setup and configure the NMT should not be disguised as a defect of the box |

 RE: Network Speed related to Drive Format?
Speed seems to be fixed.
Formatted my drive to ext3 using Acronis Disk Director. Put it back in my C300 and pulled up the test. Prior to format was getting about 5-6 mb/s over ftp and samba 4-5 mb/s. After format ftp speed is at 5-6 mb/s and samba 4-5 mb/s. So 0 speed increase by having the disk formatted differently. After doing the task in this thread. http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=58703 Samba is at 21-22 MB/s and FTP is 22-23 MB/s |
