is read/write speed really that bad? 12MB/S???!!!

Haven't measured the speed , but don't notice myself waiting around for it to transfer files

You access HDD via LAN.So if you have 100Mbps network card on your computer - you get max (100Mbps / 8) ~ 12 MBps.Modern 1 Gbps home network cards work at 100Mbps -mode by default.1 Mbps = 1 mega Bit per second = 1/8 MBps1 MBps = 1 mega Byte per second = 8 Mbps

It is really really slow. I got max 14 MB/s, most of time, it is only 1.4-16MB/s. Very disappointed.

I have SAMSUNG SSDs on both this board and connected directly to the motherboard. There is little difference in read speeds between them so the card doesn't seem to be a limiting factor. Best I can get with either is around 3.5 GB/S. I think your expectation that you can achieve 6GB/s on a sustained basis is probably unrealistic but I am not an expert here.

Hey Gov, based on my testing of the card, read and write speeds of 44.4MB/s and 19.1MB/s respectively. Hope that helps.

I just got one of these to back up the data on my Win8 laptop. It's as slow as MUD. I connected an external hard drive to the SAME USB port, and it was FAR faster. Avoid at all cost.I'd suggest this as the best alternative (get the 64GB for $50 rather than the 32GB for $45): Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive. It is USB3 but works very well on USB2 (and it's fast there too). One Xbox 360 user said it works perfectly (read the comments). Here's the link: Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive - MKNUFDVP64GB (Black)

Sequential Write speed for the 128Gb is 150MB/s if i remember correctly.Sequential Write speed for the 256Gb is 300MB/s.Sequential Write speed for the 512Gb is 500MB/s.They all have the same Sequential Read speed of 550MB/s.

As I understand it that the maximum speed of the Interface between the computer and the device. Since the device is basically all Solid State electronics, as opposed to a traditional spinning rust HD, the 6gb/sec is actually closed to a true read/write speed than you might imagine. note that that's 6gb ie BITS not BYTES... IE 8 b's per byte plus handshaking overhead but is a still twice that of tradition SATA which is only 3gb/sec max.

Thanks Mr. Brown for your fast Reply!I am going to try to format the Card to exFAT...Do you know if the exFAT could handle large 6 or 12 GB Files?

Something is not right there. On a wired 1Gbps connection with a single copy I would expect at least 400Mbps, with speeds over 700Mbps on faster switches (efficient internal packet forwarding). That is from testing when I first received the unit (tested with 4 x 5200 RPM Toshiba 160GB in RAID 5, prior to 4 x 7200 RPM Seagate 750GB in SHR I have had in it since then - but I haven't tried that on a fast switch, my home switch seems to max about 500Mbps). For comparison, I've seen speeds close to single line speed (~900Mbps) on a DS713+/DX513 combo. If you are on WiFi, I would run hardwired tests for comparison. Then start troubleshooting your WiFi.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

No, or it would be considerably more expensive. 5400RPM / 8MB cache per mfg's Web site. I found it fast enough to please me when backing up data and plugged into a modern USB 3.0 port, but quite a bit slower attached to an older computer that only had USB 2.0 ports.

This is unit so slow that only the preposterous expense of it will keep you from smashing it. It's too slow to delete files from. It's too slow to backup to. It's too slow to work from. it's too slow to do much of anything with. You may be able to write data to it at UP to 20MB/s when it's completely new and empty. Once it gets full we're talking like 1-6MB/s, or so slow to reply that your client machine simply drops the network connection assuming it's not there anymore. Right now I'm trying to delete 555 files from one. It's got 416 items left to delete. it has been over 10 minutes....

It may sound that way but in real test it's not that much. In theory 30 mb/s should be better

Ah! Cache, great, thank you for sharing this. I wonder if there's any noticeable read or write speed difference between 16 and 32 -- I was under the impression that 16 was quite a bit. Thanks again!

I'm running this drive on ACHI, so yea, it works. ACHI says its only running at 1.5 GB/s when it should be 3 GB/s for my motherboard and the drive clearly supports up to 6GB/s but it doesn't really matter since you'll pretty much never go too far over 200 MB/s with one of these drives.

I will test it tonight and see. Last time I checked though it performed at good speeds. But I am only using a 4700rpm drive so I may be maxing out the read/write on it anyways. But from my experience it performs a lot better then 2.0. Also another note is that if you plug this into a 3.0 port you don't need to use the extra USB cable for power. The 3.0 port can put out enough juice to power the whole thing. I didn't know this before I bought and honestly wasn't a big deal, but helpful to know now.

I am using USB 3 and performance is reasonable. Using Windows 8.1 Storage Spaces with full parity, I am getting ~20-40 MB/sec throughput on writes. I would recommend it for archive and backups. Not sure about the throughput yet for something like an active media server.

I have two of the 16 GB 1000 x and they say the write speed is about 95 Mb per sec. I can't prove it but I also have 600 x and I can tell it has a faster write time. I use a Nikon D 700 and so continuous @ 8 fps in RAW. I like them.
