My connection is rated for 275mbps down, 15mbps up. Using SmartFTP (incorporating threading) I consistently see averages about 24MB/s downloading and peak at about 30MB/s. On testing a 3.5GB file, I'm downloading between 1-7MB/s (Peak: 6.92MB/s Average: 5.22MB/s) which isn't bad, but not great either.

#Expandrive sftp slow software

Nick, you may want to take a look - the two drive box is not a heck of a lot more than the WD and Seagate offerings (similarly sized), and the software is definitely nicer.I'm seeing some previous comments about slow SFTP speeds. The other choice would be a FreeNAS device - but they are priced beyond what I'm willing to pay, and don't offer any significant benefits over the Synology and QNAP except that I can view the source code. they probably have more in common than different. The Synology control program is, however, much nicer, more mature if you will.īoth systems can do media streaming, and back up computers, tablets and phones. I think I'll still go with a 4 drive device because I do want some local redundancy, but I am wavering! According the reviews I've read thus far the QNAP seems to have the edge on performance, which is born out from the system specifications. Both make a very cost effective 2 drive device, which is sufficient if it is backed up to either another 2 drive device (off site) or the cloud. So I started looking at other solutions, and I've narrowed my choices down to QNAP and Synology. I've decided that building my own is not in the cards, just don't have the time right now. Tiresome day at work, sorry if i am not making much sense

PS i think Expandrive cost money, but there are free alternatives. In the case where the NAS is located outside the local network, you can use Expandrive or other programs to create the mapped drive and use it just like if the NAS was stationed locally.

Or worst case, you have to map a folder on your NAS to install hubiC into, which would make the NAS work like: NAS/MappedFolder/hubiC/AllYourStuff Like: MappedDrive(NAS)/hubiC/AllYourStuff I would think that mapping the NAS as a drive and then installing the cloud app to create a folder on that mapped drive should work, just as if it was a drive on your computer. Programs like Expandrive is mostly used if you want to access NAS/servers that are not on the local network. You can map a drive or folder from your locally connected NAS to your OS as a network drive and install your cloud service there for syncing. If you connect a NAS on your local network, you do not need Expandrive or similar programs to access it. A file by file backup is probably better if you don't have an all you can eat internet connection.Īnyway, as i said, this is what i am planning on doing myself, so proven to work it is not. So if/when my house is sharknadoed, i have all program installs, OS settings, files and folders, all neatly tucked away in an image file. I plan on doing image file backups of my system on a regular interval that i just copy to my external drive. You could also just access it with any FTP program like filezilla, a bit more hassle as it does not create a folder, but if you back up manually, it works just as well and uses the same protocol to access the remote drive (which i believe is SSH/SFTP). I use Expandrive at work to access our offsite servers, where it creates a network folder which i can access, copy/paste/delete and edit content directly on the server, just like a folder locally. These and lots of alternative programs either create a network drive or folder you can access within your OS. Most new NAS setups probably (hopefully) have a decent way to access it offsite, but here are some programs that could work: SFTP, DirectNet, Dokan and Expandrive.

Google ' How to Remotely Access Files on Your Network Storage Device ', which should show some easy to follow methods to set up a dedicated computer or NAS etc for external sharing. I am about to order a Western Digital Mycloud v2 myself. You have might have come to a conclusion already, so i am not sure if this is helpful at all, but this is what i am planning on doing myself.Ī NAS or just a cheap regular computer should be a good solution for offsite backup, perhaps check out freeNAS if you have the time and dedication.
