Can NAS transferspeeds be improved under win xp?


WinXP_OK

Recommended Posts

I connected my xp machine to a new synology NAS directly via ethernet cable, transferred some file (small and large using Teracopy) and got from 25 MB/s to 100 MB/s (in rare cases) transfer speeds. The hardive in my xp pc has an average read speed of around 140 MB/s and the hardrive in the NAS has 255 MB/s write speed, the connection is 1 Gbit/s = 125 MB/s.  The problem is that the most of the time I  get transfer speeds in the 25 MB/s range.

The protocol the NAS is using is SMB. Is there a way to improve the transfer speed to the NAS by tweaking win xp settings?

Do you have a comparison with some other system (like - say - Windows 7 or newer) on the same network and on the same NAS?

Only to exclude that is *something else* outside the XP install.

Do you have IPV6 installed in the XP? (there are reports of this creating slow transfers on local network)

Then you can see if any TCP optimization helps:

And you can try to reduce SMB traffic generated by Explorer:
