I have a lowly second hand DS215J. It runs SABNZB ok. The user interface is slow but I am ok with that. However the usenet download speed is really slow. With the NAS connected via direct ethernet cable to the router, it gets 400kb/s max if I am lucky. In comparison, my desktop which is connected to the router via Wifi can get a speed of 1.6-2 MB/s - not great but something I would be ok with.While I am ok with slow laggy user interface I am disappointed by the download speed of the NAS. I presume the slow speed is due to the low spec of the NAS? I wasn't expecting the lower spec of the NAS would have such impact on download speed, which I thought is what the Gigabit rating is about, no?How much improvement can I expect if I upgrade the NAS and what is the minimum upgrade to achieve a reasonable result? Or is it just an inherent problem with NAS and I may be better off getting something like a second hand MacMini server to run SABNZB instead?
