Hi,
I have just bought a new/formatted seagate 2TB goflex home NAS and the setup was very quick and easy and both my computers immediately recognized the drive. However, the speeds are unbelievably slow - copy speed is about 1.5-2MB/s and copying 1gb takes about 10-12minutes. Reviews on the drive say that i should be averaging about 10MB/s.
Any idea as to what the problem might be?
Computers:
Desktop: Intel i5 2400 running windows 7 home premium connected to the router via gigabit ethernet.
Laptop: Apple macbook air June 2011 on osx lion using wireless.
Both get exactly the same speed.
Thanks a lot!
