In addition to the good information cpt_paranoia posted, your computer hardware (and hard drive) will also affect the copying speed.
If you haven’t seen or read the following discussion you should, it covers some basics with respect to copying speed with the My Cloud:
One NEVER gets the full advertised speed of their networking equipment or broadband connection. There is typically some network “overhead” in addition to any hardware issues that affect/limit the speed. Typically copying anything over WiFi tends to be slower than copying over Gigabit Ethernet wire.
And while you may have a “fast” multi Megabit broadband connection that doesn’t mean the speed between your remote location and the local My Cloud will be that speed (or the speed of the download link).
