Anyone have issues with transfer rates? I'm only getting about 8MB per second when transferring between my PC and Cloudbox. Everything is gigabit

There is a reviewer on here that said he got a lot faster transfer rates in safemode. the reviewer's name is J. Defigueiredo. Oh, wait a minute, that's you. :-)

The gb refers to the maximum data throughput available over the wires. Actual throuput of any hard drive depends upon the rotational latency of the drive - its a mechanical device after all - to get gb speed I suggest you put an SSD on the network - hope this helps

My LaCie is connected to an Apple Extreme Base Station. I also have trouble with transfer rates particularly when backing-up. I connected by Ethernet the first time to back-up 200GB+ -- took about 5 hours. Have only had the LaCie for a few week and have not had time to troubleshoot the transfer rates. Sorry cannot be more helpful.

The only time I notice any significant delay is when I move large blocks of files. Normal daily file transfer is fine. I stream movies off of it and use it for my iTunes library and it works like a charm.

I haven't tried connecting via usb port but connected to the router it has been reasonably fast at about 25mb transfer rate.

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.

Try the card in a few other computers, or different brands to figure out if the problem lies in the card itself. BTW, theoretical top speeds are never achieved in practice. See Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_device_bit_rates#mediaviewer/File:Speeds_of_common_interfaces.svg

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

Get one with at least a 30mb/s or higher transfer rate. I've used a 32gig with a 30mb/s nonstop until the battery ran out in freezing conditions and not had a single issue.

I have both and I notice a big difference in both transfer speed as well as loading speeds. Get the 1000x

Hey you can perform copy and transfer but another computing devices is required in between like pc or laptop I feel it's better to connect to laptop or Pc and then perform the task so it will reduce your network usage and hence better speed .

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

File transfer is a bit slow. You may want to look into a Thunderbolt drive instead.

I'm pretty sure the transfer speeds are the same, they both use the thunderbolt connection.

no, its a lot more complex than that. trust me, i tried. you actually have to plug your extra ExtHDD to your laptop, and your MyCLoud to your laptop with an ethernet cable, then transfer. its about as fast as your internet will let you OR as fast as your extra ExtHDD will let you write files

Yeah....like the other responders, speed is a bit of an issue, but I found when it's backing up AND my local dropbox folder is syncing, everything slows as CPUs are eaten up. So as long as you're only syncing one drive at a time, you should be fine. I like the convenience of not having to be hooked into the machine. It works great connected to my gateway, and I have it secured quite easily.

Hi, Depend of your switch, if your switch is 1000MB the speed will be seted automatically.The speed of the hard drive is important too when you transfer something over the network.Regards

Well, all 4 of ours work pretty well, albeit they are not stunningly fast. I did notice the performance really slows down after the first couple TB of small files. But I suspect that's due to Samba, and I wish I could get into the unit, O/S wise, to tune it

The Ethernet port is Gigabit speed. A lot of it depends on the drives you buy and what type of Raid you use (If you use it). I bought Western Digital 2GB Red drives, the ones designed for NAS systems. I am using Synology's Hybrid Raid. I don't remember the exact numbers, but when copying my personal files from my computer, I was getting about 110MB transfer rates. That's almost 900Mb/s. It is the first time I ever ever come close to approaching the Gigabit capabilities of my network. Even if what was being reported wasn't 100% accurate, let's just say it was really fast.
