For people not getting more than 11MB/s read and running Vista/Win7 you might want to turn off "TCP autotuning" on Windows to see how would it affect transfer speed.

For my case it's a bit complicated, but eventually I've got my DNS-323 working reasonably well under my 100Mbps/1000Mbps mixed network environment. Details at http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=12562.0

That's the best you're gonna get from this box and this box will work fine on a 100mbit network. 
Last year, I upgraded my network to gigabit because I thought my network was the bottle neck to
my dns-321 and dns-323.  After all the money spent, it doesn't read/write any faster.  My only solution
now is to upgrade my NAS to a synology DS209 or use a PC as a NAS.

The DNS boxes will  be used for backups and such

I also have the Synology DS209, and it's now my primary NAS.  Very speedy. :)  I use the DNS-323 and DNS-321 as archive boxes now.

Hi i'm running at 10.9MB pc to nas. I'll let you know what speed i get once i fit the D-Link DGS-1005D.

I've also enabled hd caching so hoping that will help as my wester digital sata2 2tb green has 64 meg cache

Hi

I used to have a write speed of 11 MB/s when copying iso from my pc connected through my d-link router (di-624 and now dir-655) but now speed drops down to 2-3 MB/s. I have 2 WD 1.5 TB caviar green in Raid1. If I start task manager and monitor network speed when copying I can see how speed is taking a "roller coaster" between 0 and 15% instead of even speed at 11-12% like before. However, sometimes speed is even at 11-12% for a short while under the same copying of iso's. Fw is 1.07 (1.08 have a big sharing bug) and filesystem is ext2.

DIR 655 does not support jumbo frames.... The switch in it is also somewhat suspect as far as speed is concerned.  Having a Gigabit switch is one thing.  Lots of manufacturers just sped up their 100 speed switches to gigabit speed thinking no one will notice as 90% of people plug their pc into their router, connect a couple wireless clients and access the internet via adsl/cable/whatever.  Because that internet link is usually slower than a 100Mbit link most people never notice the switches limitations.

Most people on this forum are different from the 90%.  We have networks that do many things at the same time, streaming, internet access, storage access, backup and all that.  Having a true gigabit switch (like the D-link DGS-1005/1008) where the buffers and underlying switch was designed as a gigabit switch uncorks your network and everything speeds up. 

I learned all this as I fixed the freezing problems with my IPTV installation.  Internet comes in via a 10Mbps router.  1 link from there to the wife's pc and 1 to the rest of the network.  Everything past there connects to a DGS switch, even my dir655 which runs as an AP.

I can run two audio streams (Squeezebox's streaming FLAC), two video streams (IPTV and o!Play), surf the internet and access my nas at better than 19mbps.

Its the hardware guys - and not everything is what it says it is on the outside of the package.

Stick a gigabit switch in front of that router and connect all the network devices to it.  Just make sure the switch supports jumbo frames. :)

Tank's for the tip putting a switch (already have dgs-1008d, did some rewiring) in front of my router (dir-655), now I can se my nas in network browser again :) But speed is no faster :( I have another nas (etrayz, raid 1) and copying the same iso-file from the same pc (win7) the speed is stable as expected. I do not use jumbo frames.

For whatever reason, I've had issues getting jumbo frames to work properly here as well.  I did have them working at one time, don't know what changed to break them.

The good news is that my Synology NAS is very fast even without jumbo frames.

Does your pc have a fast ethernet or gigabit NIC? Have you tried to turn off auto tuning on Win7?

I have gigabit, Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller, and I have tried SpeedGuide.net Vista TCP/IP patch v1.5

I have 2 pictures showing the differense in speed between dns-323 and etrayz (network in task manager) when copying to nas, but showing/uploading them here not possible?

man. new to the dns-323 magic. just bought it and it is running 1.08.

is it normal to post a time of 6 hours for 165.22 GBB via direct connect ethernet on a macbook? Trying to use my 1.5 drive in there as an itunes server and am moving music to it from an external usb2 drive. seems really slow. is it normal?

How's the ftp transfer speed look like between the same hosts? If it's a lot faster than network shares then you probably want to tweak the samba configuration setting a little bit.

7.5mbytes/sec is reasonable if you have 100mbit connections.

i should have gigabit though.

right now i am going macbook -> dns-323 with a cable.

it is coming at the same speed as the macbook -> airport extreme 802.11n (which should have gb) -> dns-323.

I do have a WD15EARS in there though. but jumbo frames are enabled. would that be the issue? or is it somewhere in the connection.

i apologize, but i am a complete novice that was looking for a great nas to serve as a media server for xbox360 and itunes.

any help is appreciated.
