Synology DS107 +: I've never done in Serial operating more than 20MB per second data transfer, despite Gigabit LAN line;. the transfer to an external hard drive on DS107 + (via USB), there were max. 5 MB / sec. Much too slow. A connection via Firewire did not bring anything. HD Streaming unfortunately impossible.
Looking for a new, suitable equipment, I came (much less functional; it was aware of) on the Sharkoon QuickPort Pro LAN; After all, USB 3.0 and Gigabit LAN.
Problem (described by Sharkoon) that the device on the LAN is only recognized by the PC or when the operating software from Sharkoon has been installed previously. But again: data transfer max. 25 MB / sec. Still too slow.
So the device is out as a data source to the media player; at least over LAN. About USB folds properly. Returned.
Next, device I ended up with Netgear NAS DUO (V1). Chic part, metal, solid and well made. The software / firmware for setting but horrible, the NAS DUO also painfully slow. Internal plate max. 25 MB / sec; external USB drive (after formatting with EXT3, setting up Jumbo Frames) just 8 MB / sec. HD streaming also not possible.
Back.
After a long search:
The Zyxel NSA 325 is the device that I was looking for and now found fortunately:
Easy to install, good software and a lot (for me almost too many) settings.
Data transfer internal drive (s): 55-60 MB / sec .; USB disk to the 45-50 MB / sec. Perfect.
For HD stream can therefore also be used an external hard drive. Perfect.
Even a backup of your PC does not take a whole night, but only a few hours.
I forgive 5 star at Zyxel. Compliment.
A small hook but it still: The fan is clearly too loud. Only the installation of a fan, for example, of Pope, EKL Papst 612 F / 2 case fans, brought the desired effect that the device is now also capable of living room.
