Looking for NAS transfer guidance? Recommendations on suitable software are available.
I have a NAS with 1gbps speed, usually moving files at 90mb/s but sometimes slowing to 70mb/s. My thought is it might be due to the cheapest option available, like TerraMaster F2-210 with a quad-core processor. Sometimes encryption in .rar files could be the reason too. I mainly use SMB protocol and the Windows interface for transfers. Tools such as FileZilla help identify why uploads or downloads stop without crashing the system. Do you know any software that could make this easier? What do others use when moving large file batches?
mb or MB? 1Gbit only goes up to 125MB/s, 70~90MB/s isn't all that bad for gigabit. If you're transferring tons of tiny files there's not a lot you can do about it. If these are the speeds you see with large files like videos or music then something else is probably wrong here. SMB is basically the official Windows protocol for local file transfers. NFS is technically an option an is a feature available on Windows but personally I've never gotten it working. Then there's SSH/SFTP. This is usually much slower though. Older techs like FTP or TFTP exist but I don't recommend them for security reasons.
I'm focusing on using the full phrase instead of shortcuts. There are often confusion due to writing errors. I'll either keep using Windows or look for a program that offers more features. I'll also check out the program you recommended. The router model is G-240W-B, it's an Alcatel Nokia Huawei device. It has all the capabilities but isn't outstanding in any specific area. It supports up to 115 Megabytes per second between two Windows computers, which means it's not the reason for the full gigabit speed with the NAS. This router was discontinued around the same time it launched; it was intended to push customers toward purchasing the router from the ISP. Because it included GPON and at the beginning of 1 Gigabit per second (gbps) reaching homes, it could circumvent laws about choosing a router freely. This made it appear like a good deal since installation was free. Now it's changed—technicians can install it with a GPON to RJ45 converter, allowing you to upgrade later or avoid buying it altogether.
