Same as you.Big files are transfered great. Transfer rates also only have a high drop on small files, not on big files. The NAS itself on USB copy and everything else is very fast, also on small files.īut transfer rates drop high on WLAN even on really, really great WLAN conditions. Also as you, the time needed to copy many small files has a multiplication by a big factor compared to big files. I have also very small transfer rates on small files. 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).ĭid you find a solution? I face the same problem. I’ve used powerline adapters quite a bit as my previous apartments were solid concrete & rebar, they worked pretty well and from what I read, they have gotten a LOT faster since then. In terms of fixed IP addresses, again you should really need them – just use the UNC paths of the PCs (e.g. You should need to map network drives, just create a shared folder on the Synology and use the UNC path to it (\\NASNAME\SHAREName\) – provided your machines are using your local router for DNS, this should work fine. This really depends on the type of backup you’re doing, these days I generally ‘image’ my PCs shortly after a clean installation and manually copy the image to the NAS. If your NAS is operating on a private home network, you may want to disable transport encryption mode (use at your own risk) and enable opportunistic locking:įor me on my Synology DS215j, this took my file transfers from around 5MBps to around 80MBps!įor anyone looking for a better network platform for home, check out my article on Ubiquiti’s Unifi kit. In Advanced Settings, set the Maximum SMB protocol to SMB3, I also increased the minimum SMB protocol to SMB2. Login to the Synology NAS and click on Control Panel:Įnsure that the SMB service is enabled then click Advanced Settings: To find and check this, perform the following steps: Unfortunately, the file transfer speeds are so bad you’re considering buying a turtle and glueing a USB drive to its back to speed up file copying.Īfter hours of searching the net for an answer, in the end, I found the cause of my woes in a couple of little settings tucked away on the Synology – effectively my Synology NAS wasn’t even trying to use newer/faster versions of the SMB protocol. I don’t know anything about Notebooks.So you’ve got a shiny new Synology NAS and you’ve started storing files on it, videos, music and so forth.
I don’t see that Omni makes a Bonjour protocol available–I use their service. I understand though that you want to use the WebDAV for your other products. As doing no travel now, the Dropbox method is redundant and I probably should turn it off, but I keep it running anyway. I have running three sync methods on all devices: Bonjour (fast and runs first), Synology WebDAV, and Dropbox. For sure do that before trying to setup a WebDAV server on you iMac. However, that being said, if your devices are going to be on the local network, it’s easier to provide the fastest sync using the Bonjour sync method that DEVONthink provides. I have not setup any port fowarding or firewall stuff to make this accessible to the Internet. I do have a Synology NAS device and I run a WebDAV server there and works fine as one of the ways I do a DEVONthink sync supporting 2 OSX and 2 iOS devices.
I can’t help you with WebDAV to run on a Mac.
