If you are using, for example, the Wireless-G since you said your wifi 2. The truth is, if you want to do heavy lifting in terms of file transfer you either need a cable or a dual band wifi.
The way I solved it was to zip up the whole folder and transfer it at once, which reduces the size slightly but I think the major gain is that there must be some overhead in opening and closing a transfer connection in the Synology software. Once, the transfer was finished I extracted the ZIP file on the drive. I think this is really a general issue not just Synology, I used to see this all the time when copying websites across servers, etc.
Hi Bob, Thanks for the advice and information. I switched the wifi to 5Ghz The key is to not try moving terabytes in one chunk, I think. Anyway, thanks again! All the best Bob. It worked for me. But why did it need to be changed — I was at Mbps then dropped to 12Mbps for no apparent reason. Your fix did not speed it up dsm 6. Thanks, just to be sure, are you copying over USB, wifi or ethernet?
Samba SMB is a network protocol you see. You, my good sir ROCK! Been uploading photos for days. Thanks a bunch and cheers. Hi Bob, I come. I have just got my DS and setting it up. Tried transfer a drama download and speed was like 3MBps. I did as what you have shown. Do I need to do a power down reboot for my DS?
Many thanks…. Applied your settings and rebooted, all is good. Thank you sir! Hi, Great post. Hi, Tried the settings suggested above but unfortunately did not have change anything for me. Windows suggests the WiFi connection speed is Mbps which I was hoping would give me similar results to powerline.
Is there something I am missing. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Nothing has changed. How can I doctor this I have no problem exchanging parts of the hardware to finally get solid transfer rates between them? Have you checked resource monitor to see what speeds the Synology units say they are connected at?
For those still having the issue, as it does not apply to your setup. If all Networks are selected, you will notice that speeds will not always work as expected as it would be binding the connection to the slower Network card interface.
Synology has a fantastic write up on MPIO multipath as well that is easy to follow. The above answer asumes you have properly configured the network interfaces on your server and NAS. So Thanks! Will that make much difference? Hey Pickles, glad this helped. After that, just backup documents, etc. Just remember that the sockets generally need to be on the same phase and sometimes you can get interference from other equiment I used to have a cheap laptop power adapter that would kill powerline connections when it was plugged in to the same ring main.
Hi JP, This seems like something else is going on there, without any details its impossible to help however. For example is it wired or wireless, what is the theoretical speed of the connection, what operating system are you running and what is the data your copying e.
Nice info! I have a DSSE and since a week or 3 transfer files is so slooooow. I tried your stuff above but nothing seems working…. Its rather sad! I also had data transfer problems.
Alle Cat6 cable, gigbit switches. Everything checked with testers, I was going crazy. Eventually a pro network friend of mine asked: do you have a Sitecom switch in your network? Do you have a Sitecom switch? Not with wifi and neither with direct USB cable. Would still be nice though to get a speed on multiple single files which is about Something must be terribly wrong. The speed your seeing above is unfortunately not down to the connection speed of the Synology but purely the admin overhead at source and destination for moving lots of small files.
This occurs even on a business network when copying to a high-end Windows server. I have also very small transfer rates on small files. Also as you, the time needed to copy many small files has a multiplication by a big factor compared to big files. Transfer rates also only have a high drop on small files, not on big files.
Same as you. Big files are transfered great. Zipping file is not working in every case. I tried several settings and googled very much! But no solution. But it is still slow on small file over WLAN. So the difference is very high. I hope someone has a tip. On local DSM or local Windows it deletes the files in a blink, it is so fast, that you do not see any popup.
Also here, a very, very high factor of needing more time for the same task. Is it a must to connect with ethernet cable to transfer file in order to get a faster speed? The other thing I did was copy to the NAS directly through the computer folder on the network, not through the media server. Most certainly do not transfer using quickConnect. Its really slow. Sonos Problem. I found that after transferring all my music files to my new NAS the sonos failed to sync.
Seems that Sonos uses SMB1. I had to reset the minimum back to SMB1. And yes, speeds go quicker if you configure the synology file service to disable encryption.
Hi Dexter, Thanks for this — out of curiosity what Synology model do you have? Appreciate the detailed instructions if this is able to help others though! I have my Mac wired to the router. When I transfer the files over Synology Drive drag and drop, but also on Finder, is super slow. I set evrything up as described above, but still very slow, is there anything else I can do? Is this transfer speed normal for the internet connection I have? Thank you so much for your support. Hi Julia, Lots of unknowns here so a few questions: You did a speed test, presumably that is of your network connection not your internet connection?
What sort of files are you copying? Hey all! Super helpful thread. Makes sense? How do you do to increase the speed of Synology Drive? People seems to have speeds issues. But as the transfer foes on, the delay between files transfer each of them are between 1Gb and 5Gb becomes more and more important, then, after minutes, you can count about 2 minutes between each file transfer, and finally, after minutes, the network link on the NAS goes down, the shares drop, I have to reboot the Synology NAS to get it working again.
It might be a problem with your disks. Some all? And you might want to bring the drives back to the dealer, and ask for faster ones. Hi Bobby, Writing has a higher admin overhead that reading due to writing the data, file allocation tables, permissions, etc. Thanks for your response. Nothing has changed with my network. Found this thread while googling the issue. I was connected through QuickConnect. None of the solutions in this thread seemed to fix it for me, but if I used Explorer and simply navigated to the share, speeds were back to where they were supposed to be.
Hi experts, I turn to you with these requests. I managed to install everything, get it working, but I copied the files slowly. I connect to him so I created a network unit in the pc with his address: While downloading from it is always about but when writing it is copying 3GB file slowly all the time from the same location and when copying 20 and larger file speed is between I have no switch to test it with.
But when copying from PC 1 to PC 2, the speed is fine around and no matter how big the file is. Encryption is on the car, renting SMB2 does not change its on or off. Opportunistic Locking is on, WS-Discovery is also on. Thank you. HI, I have been experiencing the same problems as many posters here. I have tried all the suggested fixes with no success. All ports indicate a 1G ethernet connection.
Laptop Wifi Connection speed ranges from mbps to mbps. Hi Jason, This actually looks about right to be honest. The true test of where the bottle neck lies though is to do a speed test with a wired connection. Hey Bob. After re-reading your previous comments, I am thinking that wifi and wired connections may be performing as expected? Autocorrect strikes again huh!? Nas conected to router with cat6 wire.. Router conected to PLC with cat6 wire.. I think the problem is inside synology ds Is it right?..
It should be 1Gbps, right?.. While PowerLine connectors are good, they can get interfernce from lots of sources. To be honest, if your PC is only 3 meters from your router, I would use either a network cable or wifi instead of a powerline unit — I only ever use those as a last resort. Found this page today and it has completely resolved my slow transfer speed issue.
Absolutely brilliant — thank you so much! I recently bought a DS to backup my projects that are really important to me. However, currently its only throttling around kbps of download, and 20kbps of upload. After your suggestion its still the same. In the first 5 minutes or so it was around 20mbps, but then it started to drop really fast. At this current pace it will take me Is there any way of fixing this issue before sending it back?
Backing my data via Cloud Station which is connected via IP Hi Joey, Are these projects website projects by any chance? Thank you for your reply. The projects are not for websites but for music stuff, so still could hit the administrative overhead of small files probably.
I still have slow speeds but ordered a ethernet adapter today. Hopefully that will make a difference. Thanks for your tips!
I have been unable to use it for backup due to horrible performance. In two weeks, 1 TB of my laptop data is still not fully transferred. When I use a USB3 disk the full backup is only a couple hours. On my old laptop, everything else operating went to a crawl, and the backup never finished after weeks!!! I tried all the settings suggested above, without success. How does anyone get the Synology backup to work?
My previous Windows Home Server worked way better, but no longer supported, unfortunately. A bottle neck that small is definately not going to be processor related, something else is going on. Dude, thank you so much! I finally resolved to fixing this, and came across your post. BOB, mate…. I had problems in playing 4k hdr movies, especially the ones with very high bitrate…. I just wanted to tell you Huge thanks and hug form me! Firstly, thank the lord for this thread… I did a lot of searching for this topic.
Great work, Bob — thank you. I tried all of these settings, with no luck — until I had a powercut due to a storm yesterday. Once the power came back on… perfect — went from around 4Mbps to 85Mbps. So, last thing to try — to protect my sanity was to flick off the power to my powerline.
What the hell is going on with my setup? Hey David, This is going to sound a little odd but I would go around and unplug anything in the vicinity of powerline adapters that is electronic not necessarily electrical, simply electrical devices are fine. I say this from experience. Years ago I was staying at a friends house and connecting to wifi in this guest house which was fed from a powerline adapter.
After a few days I realised it was whenever I plugged in my second laptop charger a cheap copy in to a nearby socket. This other in of the powerline plug is connected to the router. The best upload speed i get is kps I have made the changes in your opening post, but this has made no difference to my speed. PC is connected to the same switch as the NAS. Apparently that speed is about right for my 30mb broadband. So it would take over a month to upload gb strangely enough if i drag and drop a backup file from my desktop, it will take just over two hours…..
If you are getting 30 download, I would expect at least 10Mbps upload which is 1. Hope this helps Bob P. Just done a speedtest and it reports15Mbps down and 1.
This is using a PC connected to an unmanaged switch gigabit then into a powerline gigabit wifi turned off which is picked up by another powerline straight into a Synology router. My other choice is to create Hyper Backups to 2nd NAS and have that Chugging away uploading said back-ups to synology. Download the Backup file to the PC…. So i might have to create smaller job, maybe one for each year.
Living in the stick is wonderful, but you pay a price with the internet limitations. JPGs your kind of stuck. No quite seperately, we have configured her NAS on her home network to synchronise ALL of her photos to it, which works ok because the download speed is better and the photos are uploaded when she is out and about on faster connections generally. This means if she needs quick access to her old photos when at home, she does so via the NAS.
Not sure if that would work for you but its good for her. Thanks to your article I solved another problem: Synology Drive Backup was stuck, it seemed to loop. All Best Henrik. I am attempting copy of important files from my Windows 10 laptop to the NAS. It is bouncing all around. All cabling is CAT6. I was excited to find the settings here and I changed accordingly, but see no difference in speed. I abandoned one attempt yesterday that was still going at 20 hours.
It was a 5. If I were you, try and find a single large file say 1GB upwards and copy that and see what speed you get. That gives you the true network through put. Lots of smaller files each have an admin overhead small at the source, larger at the destination and it can have a big impact. When I copy websites consisting of — for example — 30, tiny files amounting to only Mb, it takes ages compared to a single file 40 times bigger.
Thanks, I will try as soon as the current copy operation which has been running overnight is done. Hi Bob, I tried the steps suggested I even tried other tips on the thread.
And I cant just manage to improve or change transfer speed. It seems to me that I am doing everything right and connected direcrly no router or switch to the NAS but still cannot get the results I am hoping. What sort of data are you trasferring? Have you tried transferring a single large file for example 4GB and seeing what speeds you get versus a bunch of smaller files? I am only testing to transfer single files sized aprox 10 gb To 20 gb I tried now transfer single 4gb file and still get same results The transfer rate isnt even stable or fluctuating slightly.
