Hi
I am transferring files from my Windows Laptop to my Synology NAS.
Ethernet says link speed is 1000/1000(Mbps)
Files transfer very slowly.
Anything to check?
Thanks

Check the cables for damages, or tight bends, that could cause a lot of packet loss.
3.77 Megabytes per second is about 31.6 Megabits per second. The slowness may not be your network, but it may be the read from your HD and the write to your NAS (I/O).
Thanks. My laptop is a few years old alright. How would I check the laptop HD read speeds and the NAS write speeds? It’s a Synology NAS with some WD Red drives (abt two years old so I supsect the laptop) thanks
Windows has an I/O monitor in the Task Manager - that will help give you an idea of what your read speed is. If your laptop HD is mechanical (disk plate with arm) then that may be the reason why your read is low. Your Red Drives should be able to handle high write speeds though based on the specs.
What do the nas and the laptop connect into? Are they both wired to the same switch with nothing in between?
One continuous file or multiple smaller files?
One large file should transfer a lot faster.
