Hello!
So I'm not really sure if this is a networking problem/question or a storage problem/question (Its likely both actually)
I have an odd problem. So I am using a 1 Gigabyte connection on all my important devices. My desktop using 1 gigabyte and my "NAS/Media Server" (Aka A 2010 Mac Mini). When I transfer files I only get 30-40 mbs a second while transferring files from my desktop to my Mac Mini. What I think is the problem is that Im transferring to USB 2.0 mass storage devices which has a speed cap of like 480 megabytes per second I believe. So those 30-40 mbs I was getting now make sense. So I tried to find ways to increase those speeds, the obvious solution would be to add USB 3.0, doesn't seem like I can on that mac mini. So I'm stuck. How can I get faster mass storage? The only thing I can think of is to remove the optical drive and replace it with a 8tb hard drive or something but thats not cheap and then I can't use my usb hard drives. Any ideas?
Thanks
