How do I get my NAS Faster

Go to solution Solved by RAM555789,

Just to clear something up bade of what has been said. MB/s=megabytes per second. This how file sizes are your computer are measured. When data travels over wire it get a converted to Mbp/s which is megabits per second. 1 byte = 8 bits and then you have to also remember that when a file size is exactly 1 Megabyte it's actually 1024 bytes. When internet companies advertise a 1 gigabit connection speed to make it sound super fast and all is actually 125 megabytes. That's still super fast but bits always sound way faster than they actually are.

Router bottleneck? If your router is 100Mbps, then 10MB/s is the limit. You should be seeing ~80MB/s speeds if both devices are gigabit.

It does sound like one of the devices is only running at 100mbps. Check that any routers/switches/etc do have gigabit capability.

If you're limited to around 10MB/s (100mbps) it sounds like you're plugged in to a 100mbps port somewhere in the chain. What model router are you using? Does it support 1gbe? Is it plugged in to 1gbe ports?

Weird flex but okay. Your internet connection provided by your ISP is irrelevant for local transfers over LAN between NAS and PC.

It is plugged into the 5GHz connection port.
The Router is an Arris XB6

There's no such thing as a 5GHz port it's either Fast Eth (10/100Mbps) or Gigabit (1000Mbps)

That's the problem then, not the NAS. Also it's 100Mb/s : 1024 x 100 / 8 =12800 = 12,5 MB/s

How is your PC connected to the router? Wifi or ethernet?

A CAT7 cable is a waste on a shitty router that only does 10/100 lol. A Cat5 would've been enough. Heck, I run my local network (all gigabit) on Cat5e.
