Hi,
I have a DS1517+ with 4 WD Red 5TB drives in SHR. I have a direct ethernet connection between the NAS and my Mac Pro (Gigabit Ethernet) which is responsible for streaming my movies. I have a direct connection so my streaming does not stress my network/router double (once from the NAS to the Mac, and then from the Mac through the router to the client that is watching). I have given the ethernet ports on the DS and Mac static ip addresses and mounted the shares via AFP and this works fine, except it is much slower than 1Gbps. How is it possible my Mac does not read/write at full speed? And more important, any idea how to improve this?
Regards Patrick
