Upload via SMB is way to slow

    On a hardwired 1Gbps network, the SMB upload speed is barely 10MB/sec. Should be much, much faster. Files are sourced from a Synology 1819+ with 32 GB memory and 6 x drives in SHR... NAS or network is not the bottle neck... should this be reported as a bug or enhancement request?

    Do all, ALL the involved devices have a 1Gbps network card? Are there any hubs / switches that don't?
    Also, do consider drives' read/write speed, as at 1Gbps also that becomes relevant as a bottleneck...

    10Gbps Fiber backplane.... the slowest devices are all 1gbs... i'm using the same Synology 1819+ to edit 4K video and 45Mpg photos over the network with out any slowness... Jriver on my MacBookPro and Windows machines (1Gbps) scans the enter library in 108 seconds... On the DMP-A6, a scan of the Library takes over 15 minutes... this is a DMP-A6 issue. NOT a network or NAS issue.

    Copying the same files to the DMP-A6 m2 NMVE drive installed in a USB enclosure is way faster... 4 hrs vs 1 day 6 hr.

    just connecting to the DMP-A6 through SMB and trying browse files is a painfully, slow process... spinning wheels for minutes..

    well, a little math here makes all this clear:

    1. LAN @ 1Gbps (1 Gbit per second == 0.125 GByte per second
    2. NVME on USB3 == 1 GByte per second (or, 8 GBit per second, that is, a 1:8 ratio)

    4 hours vs 30 hours is roughly 1:8 ratio

    It is expected, if you don't have a 10 Gbps LAN card on all the devices.

    Thanks for the detail attention.... but i think you're missing some facts in your calculation. The source of the library is the same and the slowest link in the connection is the 1Gbps network . So it doesn't matter that USB3 is 10Gbps... Therefore, both DMP-A6 and USB Drive enclosure, should read/write at the same speed.... but, NO! DMP-A6 is SUPER Slow.

    Source Library (NAS) --> Network (10Gbps ) --> Windows Laptop (1Gbps Hardwired) --> USB 3.1 --> nMVE
    Source Library (NAS) --> Network(10Gpbs) --> DMP-A6 (1Gbps Hardwired) --> nMVE (installed in DMP-A6)

    The comparison between the transfer rate to the SSD when attached to your Windows device and across to the SSD when installed in the DMP will likely depend on how well Eversolo have implemented the LAN and storage drivers in the DMP.

    IIRC, the DMP also supports NFS as does Synology. Have you tried using NFS from the NAS to the DMP?
