studdmufin Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have a WD EX4 and want to synchronize files on the NAS with BT Sync. I have no problems setting it up and syncing some test files, but it is just super slow. I'm talking about 8 MB/s avg sometimes peaking at 10 MB/s. I have another computer on my LAN that when syncing goes at about 50MB/s so I know it is the network connection and when I just drag and drop files to it through finder to the EX4 I usually get about 30MB/s. I'm wondering is there something I can do to speed up BT Sync. I'm assuming that the hardware is just not capable of doing it and maybe BT Sync requires more CPU/RAM than the box can give. I'm going to be building a FreeNas box soon, but in the mean time i'd like to get this working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iswrong Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Can you see CPU usage on the NAS while syncing? BTSync relies heavily on encryption, so a weak CPU without AES-specific instructions could spend most time on encryption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
