SMB is handled through SAMBA. The reason for the slower transfer. FTP will allways be faster, even between 2 pc's. If you are in RAID 1 (recommended) write speeds will be slower around 4MB/s, reads will be faster (~6MB/s), drag and drop (SMB).

Your max for a 100baseT is 12.5 theory actual ~10.5. If you have a old router it could also be limiting your speeds. The speeds I posted were from a old SMC router, have not retested with my current system.

AV programs can also slow thing down too, if it's scanning every thing you transfer (in & out). And if it's Norton, it's slowing your whole computer down.

If you need full bandwidth move up to the RAID 5 units.
